My22 year old son with Autism, ADHD, dyspraxia auditory/visual hallucinations. Ect. Was recently knocked off his Pip. How would he go about reapplying ? He no longer lives at home. Has tried to kill himself three times this year. At my wit's end. Help.

Hi @Cherie1962
Welcome to the community, I am sorry to hear that you and your son are struggling so much.
Appealing th decision may be a better way forward than reapplying. The link @Katy_Scope shared above is great and we also have some videos around appealing a DWP decision here

Regarding your son's mental health, is he getting any support with this? Does he see anyone from a mental health team? Do you think he would consider speaking to someone like the Samaritans or MIND?Scope
