Hi, my name is Marie and my daughter has just been refused pip after getting dla for 13 years

Hope I can get some advice
applied for pip for my daughter she has aspergers and been in receipt of dla for 13 years
I’m hiessinh part of this was I didn’t sense in all health reports from 13 years ago when she went through few years of hospitals assements and seeing diffrrant health professionals
yhese are old so I havnt got any of it anymore so I don’t send it in
all I sent was a letter from gp saying she had a diagnosis of aspergers
even when she was interviews the assessor didn’t really wrote what we told her she has difficulty with most activities of living but was given 0 for all I’m totally gobsmaked and daughter is suicidal to the point she isn’t sleeping anxiety levels are very high and wants to go to sleep and never wake up
I feel awful for her
I have contacted my Mp to appeal
any suggestions on what eveidence to get to send
ive requested go notes on my old assessments but not sure if I can get them
I’m also going to ring the school as o was statemented and also had Ed psychologist reports and speach and language assessments but I cannot find the original diagnoses by the consultant and can’t remember who would hold a copy?
amy advice gratefully received

I'm so sorry to hear about your current situation, it must be really tough on both you and your daughter. It's great that you've contacted your MP, have you also begun the appeals process for overturning the decision? Let us know, and we'll do what we can to help you.
Does your daughter have any mental health support in place? We have a mental health advisor who you might like to have a chat to if this is something you're concerned about, and please remember to seek immediate help if you feel your daughter is at risk.
