Appeal for PIP was created by Jacquie Maitchell
Hi my son is 16yrs old and was on lower rate mobility and higher rate for care on DLA, he has been flatly refused any PIP at all and we now have a date for appeal following an unsuccessful reconsideration! He has Aspergers Syndrome Disorder and suffers from extreme anxiety! My question is, does he have to be questioned at the appeal? or can I speak for him?

Welcome to the forum.

In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?


As he is now classed as an adult I think you will struggle to speak on his behalf unless you are his official appointee of you can show that he is not aware of his conditions or that he prone to exaggerating or minimising the effects of his conditions.

I would write a letter to the Judge asking to speak on his behalf and see what response you get, they may be willing for you to provide reasonable commentary on his answers to the panel's questions. Send the letter to the Clerk of the Court at the venue of the hearing.
