Pip has been stopped help please
7 years 2 weeks ago #186450 by AJay 
Our grandson who is now 18 has just had his pip taken away from him after 2nd pip assessment.
We only knew about this when the money put into his account was low, and phoned dwp.
No letter or anything, just told they use 2nd class post but you only have 4 weeks from date of that letter to submit proof.
We finally received the letter and copy of assessment report Friday 31st but letter dated 22nd March giving hardly anytime to get anything to pip decision department.
Our grandson is staying with us at the moment because his mum and family moved to wales to be nearer us due to her cancer.
He was staemented in 2003 and throughout his life was on high rate dla both care and mobility.
When he was first changed over to pip from dla he was dropped to standard rate care only, he had a home assessor at the old family home then and an extremely rude assessor did this.
His review came up february and the form explained how he struggles with his disability. The report shows that the assessor had no real understanding of asd claimants, it says she was or is a paramedic, while she was pleasant the result was not.
We need to submit medical and other evidence for a mandatory reconsideration and are at a loss to what we can get, we have his support needs from his education foundation in his old college and are going to speak with the gp tomorrow as they have only known him 6 months due to the move. His old surgery have said they can provide his new gp notes, but this is not going to happen within the dwp time limit and we dont know what to do.
He probably can get support from his old educational places but easter holidays is also going to ensure this cannot be gathered and sent in time.
Has anyone got any advice please, this is so wrong and our grandson does not understand what is going on or to his thinking what he has done wrong,
