Tired and preparing for a PIP tribunal

This is my first time. I'm waiting for a PIP tribunal. The Dwp has until 4 of July to reply. 0 points twice. I have aspergers now called autism. Both times was reused because I was diagnosed late in my 40s. and went to a mainstream school. So I didn't have autism till my 40s.and I. Haven't been statemented as a child. Aspergers wasn't diagnosed in 1964.i had problems yes but no one had any idea what was wrong we me so I was labelled stupid and ignored. So I'm being denied pip for being born at the wrong time. Angry depressed. and so tired. I had a lifetime dla award.

PIP looks at how you are affected on a daily basis, rather than just the diagnosis that you have. When you had the initial assessment, were you able to get a copy of the report? This will show you why the porint has been given, but also so you know how to plan the tribunal.
I appreciate it can be such a worrying thing and that it can impact your mental health. Do you have any support at the moment?

Have a good look through your bundle and make notes of what areas you think you should have scored points and why giving real life examples of what happens when you do this task.
Good luck and keep us updated
At this moment very hard to claim PIP, because award based on claimant words (most claimants don't know how to properly explain problems during daily living). There no matter which stage of PIP claim (assessment, mandatory reconsideration or tribunal).
During tribunal concentrate only on your problems during your daily living.
Provide much as you can samples about problems.
Never talk about you can do without problems.
My personal experience:
2018 received 0 points on Daily living and Mobility.
This happens because I talked about good days and bad days.
On 2019 placed new claim and awarded enhanced rate daily and enhanced rate mobility. I concentrated only on bad days and not talked about good days.
