Pip

Hi, I am completing my sons pip tribunal appeal. The last tribunal awarded my sons points back for needing communication support to express , understand complex verbal info etc and for needing social support to engage with other people. The judge awarded 4 points for each descriptor. My son was working full time in a factory at the time but with a small number of people. He has since changed jobs to another factory , again with a small amount of people. He gets support from his supervisor and management when he is having difficulties at work, through being on the spectrum. I am just checking something , does the support he receives at work count as a person, people who support him , like myself and my sons sister supports him with life outside of work and when he's working. Can the work people who support him whilst he is working count too? Thank you.

Hi, thank you. That is extremely helpful. I can't open the link for some reason. At work he has done things in the past that is unsafe, such as climbing on top of a machine to put a cardboard box over the speaker, as it was too loud for him. He could have got dismissed for that , as it was a safety issue but his manager talked to my son instead etc. I've put this on the appeal form. Thanks again. Any other advise I would greatly appreciate.

Thank you. I have managed to open it and read it . Very interesting!
