    This was hard to watch, not in the way that it wasn't helpful, because it was, but in the way that I realise how hard it can be and I'm so sacred to start this.
  • @corvidsarecool
    Thank you for this video, currently applying for PIP and it’s ballaching, this really helped, have a nice day!! :)
  • @JMCD18
    Thankyou so much for this video. I have just returned my PIP application form & have been wondering what to expect!
  • This is incredibly helpful to me right now as i need to start this process but have been putting it off.
  • @mollydyke551
    Thank you so much for this. I just got diagnosed and I'm looking into this so this is super helpful
  • @machinedred
    That was a fantastic explanation. I was injured in a crash crash over 20 years ago and never knew I could claim for anything 😔
  • @maulbearbby
    Thanks for sharing, it was really clear how the process works and what to expect. I'm autistic with CFS and have never applied as I know far too many people with my conditions who have been rejected, but your video has given me hope that I could be eligible if I stick through the appeal and tribunal process.
  • @andrewkennan2897
    It’s a very corrupt system and the process is terrible, I applied 18 months ago and was refused even the tribunal was refused so made complaint about the process and I am maybe getting a upper appeal but the pip process used medical information what I was like 18months ago and not the updated medical information and other medical issues they were sent after, they made me out to be a liar and ignore medical facts, even the medical facts 18months ago I was really bad but now and the past yr I am grounded, I suffer with long term Panic Disorder and a recent diagnosis of FND 😢
  • Thanks for this video! I gave up on PIP the first time but I think I'm gonna give it another go. Two questions: (1) I think you said that you need 12 points to get any PIP but I think it's actually only 8 points for standard rate and 12 for enhanced rate? (2) you mentioned local charities might be able to help, can you suggest any local to Newcastle?
  • @RetrodudeG
    To honest i am thinking about suing DWP, that me gave 0 points when i have sooo many health problems! They didn’t bother to look at my evidence, i am furious!
  • They dragged my whole process out over two years because Plague(tm) and me refusing to have phone assessments/tribunal. They owed me about £10,000 and gave me zero points at tribunal. Shortly after, the Scottish ADP came in and I was immediately given enhanced rate without an assessment (just from my form and my physio's letter). I still maintain I only got zero at tribunal so they didn't have to pay out that much...

    The issue is everyone has a form of depression and. Anxiety and working within mental health for nhs do not think it should be included in PiP
  • Curious if we have something similar to PIP in Germany. If anybody knows, let me know!
  • It’s fascinating to me how many people you’ll find online bragging about how the universal healthcare provided by places such as the UK is superior, great, and so on, compared to the US. And then I learn about how such things like evaluations for ADHD, autism have waiting times measured in years, quite often: not that they impact your ability to live while waiting, right? If the socialized medical system was all that and a bag of chips, private practices wouldn’t exist in the same areas, but they do, because they’re suboptimal, just perhaps a different form of broken compared to the issues we have to deal with in the US. And to learn you’re literally tied to particular local doctors and medical systems while on those multiple year waits lest you find yourself kicked back to the bottom of waitlists, what absurdity! If the wait times weren’t measured in more than a couple months worst-case, it’d be largely a minor issue not worth worrying about. Perhaps if you’re not disabled somehow, it’s largely fine, if you have typical yearly care everyone gets because they’re just “normal” instead of the more expensive things. Everything has a price, it’s all a matter of the form of currency.

    Can I claim this for being autistic and working full time ?
