DLA to PIP Evidence

Hi all,

My son turned 16 this year so has been invited to apply for PIP and my main concern is about evidence.

He has autism and was diagnosed 11 years ago. Aside from a few years of social support group meetings, some yearly paediatrician appts and speech therapy he's had no other contact with the NHS.

I'm extremely experienced with children and adults with ASD (non-professional) so have been able to manage things myself along with his stepdad who is also ASD so helps loads.

He has EHCPs which for the past few years have said he's barely got issues at school (he finds it ok to focus during a set routine). He started college last month.

My concern is that I pretty much have NO medical evidence aside from an 11-year-old diagnosis letter. Does anyone know who would be good at helping support us with some evidence? Or should just filling in the PIP2 and a copy of the diagnosis be ok?

Has anyone been in this situation? Who did you ask for help?

(Sorry if this was posted twice, the site constantly logs me out).

Hi BIS, I'll include everything I can find although his last 3 or 4 EHCPs make him sound like he hasn't got any issues with anything so I doubt they will be useful. I have a ton of paperwork from around the time he was diagnosed so shall see what I can include

I'll deffo do a statement, along with his stepdad

He's never been prescribed any meds but I'll deffo send in what we have. I totally understand the criteria and always reference the guides
