Pip / autism denied then a few years later accepted?

Hi everyone 
i have autism and I first applied for pip in 2016 and I was told no. It was very stressful for me. I was reading online about how many people with autism are successful and I decided to try again this year 2019. A nurse visited me at home as I’m agoraphobic, my medicine is delivered in the post. I have been successful this time. Although no payment has been received yet, it’s been 4 weeks. Will I get back paid from the first claim or this recent one? I have seen a article in the news about people who should have been entitled to the pip payment being back dated? Either way I’m grateful to have been successful this time! Any information about this will be much appreciated. Thank You x

Try to send in a Autism / Aspergers certificate.
If you contact the people who assessed you they will send one out. That made the difference for me, other then just writing it last time.
If you have any form of autism go for pip, and don’t give up. Even if you don’t need the extra money (which i do) save it for the future as autism and security are important. Good luck x
Well done on winning enhanced both. Glad you finally got what you deserved after all these years.
