My name is Kate and I have joined the forum as I am looking for all the advice and support I can get to assist my 34 year old son. He has Autism and we are in the middle of a very upsetting and frustrating time due to the benefit changes. We are now at the appeal stage of PIP and the change in my son after years of good health physically and emotionally is heart breaking. Its so stressful for him. Just want to chat to others who understand...
