Update for everyone with learning difficulties

I just thought I would share this. before someone already states it I will mention it now. I no it’s not about the condition it’s about how it affects them ect ect. but I just wanted people to no that the DM said learning difficulties was the main reason I got awarded it regardless of what I can do ect ect. he said not all but most people that have special needs get it. he said there was other factors he had to take into account but going to a special needs unit and having ADHD / Personality disorder made it more straight forward, as it stated the things I can’t do. just wanted to share my story.

I hope the DM helped you understand the decision better.

Can people with LD get PIP? Yes.
Is medical evidence always required? No, 52% of awards sew to people who provided no medical evidence, but, that shouldn’t be confused with “no evidence”. Evidence can be anecdotal.
While people with learning disabilities can get PIP, it's not guaranteed. It depends on how a person's condition impacts them personally. So two people with the same condition will not definitely receive the same award.
