DLA to PIP 16 year old son who has Asperger

Hello I am new to this forum , I would really appreciate any advice or help with my question . My son has just turned 16 and I am having to fill out his PIP form from DLA. ( I am my son's carer and appointee) I am finding this hard to fill out as my son has Asperger Syndrome , he suffers with anxiety and somatisation disorder. My son is very bright with maths and computers, I have been home schooling him since he was 13 years old due to him being bullied as he was different from other children. my son felt like he never fitted in at school. My son does not go anywhere on his own, I always accompany him every where, he does not go on public transport as I drive, he has a few friends who we visit , he has loads of online friends until he ends up falling out with them , I help him wash and dress every day , as he would not bother checking water temperature or he would forget to turn the tap off. If he dressed himself he would wear clothes inside out or back to front and inappropriate for the weather conditions. I do all his cooking as he cannot be trusted in the kitchen, ie, lack of concentration of what he was doing, he dislikes loud noises and struggles in social situations with lots of people around , he fails to see any danger in anyone or anything. He understands money value and he knows how to add up he is very bright , but he wouldn't have any idea how to pay bills or budget. I also wanted to know if I had to resend all the evidence that I provided with his DLA form again with the PIP form . I love my son very dearly and I feel like I am bein g disloyal to him by writing this forum about him , Please if anyone can give me some advice I would be so grateful . Thank you

Hi Gordon Thank you for replying to my message . I have read the guide to PIP form , I found it really interesting but I did not find any information regarding Asperger . I am finding it difficult to complete the form as it is hard to explain my son's condition . I will keep looking on here to see if I can find any more information . Thank you

I have a daughter who is now 19 and has aspergers. There is very little guidance on how to fill out the pip form for young people wih aspergers. Does your son have any medical reports or assessments you could refer to ? It is important to provide evidence whether it be from the gp or from professionals that know him as in my experience otherwise it will be ignored. you need to also provide examples indetails of any 'Meltdowns' he has and what leads to these occurring. My daughter gets higer rate care and mobility but is due to have yet another assessment by atos on monday. You need to dedicate. A lot of time in preparing your anwers so my advice is to do a little each day so the task does not get too overwhelming.
