hi there
i am on the autistic spectrum, I don’t qualify for dla or pip apparently as don’t require the about of support for those benifits.
This is in itself isn’t a issue as I only claimed these so I would have proof I’m disabled.
I dont want to carry carry around a diagnosis letter as may get lost and also has very personal information on that was disclosed at the time of the diagnosis.
I dobt want want to pay for a card that isn’t recognised either.
How ow can I go about proofing I’m disabled and at times need support of others with me even sometimes my own children.
