autistic son, DLA to pip

helencc

Hi guys

My son is 16, 17 this year, he has gone from DLA to pip, I am his appointee.

I had sent back his forms and received a answer that said he would no long be rewarded and scored him a total of 2 points. As you can imagine I'm a little confused with this as I also had the telephone assessment.

I have rung them and asked for a mandoatiry reconsideration, I then had to have another 45 mins call being asked the same things I was asked before on the previous phone assessment and weather I agreed or disagreed , but when I asked about the one he had scored points on she said it doesn't matter it's more or less a fresh questionnaire to go to be asesed but I had to say agree or disagree?! I'm so confused and worried as he has been on dka from being roughly 3/4year old, nothings changed with him apart from his age.

What could possibly be the outcome from me asking for the m.r? Thank you. X

Hi @danni_23 and a warm welcome to the community from me!

You don't need to call PIP as your daughters DLA payments will continue until a PIP decision is made😊
