I’m going to submit my claim for UC next week, I don’t want to wait any longer

What do other members think 🤔💭 of those with incurable conditions (like mine, autism) being reassessed on Personal Independence Payment every few years? It would be good to get some thoughts. 🤨🧐

I’ve been getting the maximum payment for a few years now, a big improvement on the amount I was getting from DLA/Disability Living Allowance.

You shouldn’t need to keep telling Personal Independence Payment, “oh I’m still autistic. I haven’t got better whatsoever. My needs are still very much the same”. PIP have all the information ℹ️ they need to know about me. Why should I be made to keep repeating myself to them?!

I didn’t have to do this on Disability Living Allowance. I had an ‘indefinite award’ and that was the thing I liked about DLA, despite not getting the maximum payment.
