    Hi ,,Iive just been turned down second time for pip ,, I'm autistic ,,I think it's ridiculous that they decide based on what you can do   and not how you cope in certain situations ,,and also just had surgery for breast cancer ,,so double whammy ,,not my week 🥺. Had two lumps removed and lymph nodes ,,I am also on breast cancer forum to discuss that ,,,just feeling down right now 🥺

    Did you challenge the decision the first time? If you didn't was there any reasons why? To constantly reapply using the same evidence you previously used will very likely see constant refusals. PIP isn't about a diagnosis.
