DWP ( being ableist )



Hi all , I got my pip award letter back. As you know my OT wrote a huge long letter about my autism / adhd and how it effects me. Also i sent of my diagnosis of both.

She award me 10 for motobilty , and 9 for daily living, she looked at my pip from 2016 when I had a misdiagnosis. And said nothing had change. What the actual hell , did I not send you 2 bloody diagnosis of autism / adhd and my OT letter explain how this effects me.

She also stated back in 2016 i talk to my friend daily ( this is 4 years ago I don’t have that friend anymore. And than on the communication I just need prompting to talk to others. Erm I have 2 friends . I have more wildlife animals as friend for fuck sake. I don’t really go out. Oh the reading bit thing on there to. They assume I can understand basic complex written information. ( hense the Alice in wonderland land ticket balls up i had. And other things.

Oh get this one mixing with other people. You need prompting by another person to engage. Erm no I don’t really social I hate groups and of places I go get to busy I leg it out of there. When I went to Alice in wonderland exhibition. There was more to see but it was busy. So I just saw what I saw.

I don’t want to sound ungrateful because i am not. The reason for my letter sending and evidence etc was to get enhanced so I could attend a day centre and do a workshop. But its 70 a day. On standard money I can’t do it and meet others like myself and social that way. Its the reason why my OT made a big fuss about it. So I could actually pay for my own care in this day centre.

I just think the dwp are ableist arseholes. And they could not be asked to look at both diagnosis and letter from OT. And just kept talking about 2016. Erm stop living in the past my medical has changed telling me its not ..is sure bullshit. I can’t to anything now. So I have messaged my OT and let her know and go from there.

I will fight this till I am blue in the face.
