Hello,
My son is now 23 he has been in receipt of ESA since December 2009 and been to a total of 2 or 3 medicals through 2010.
He has always scored 40pts and above on his medicals
He has suffered from ADHD and Aspergers syndrome since being diagnosed age 7.
He gets supper stressed out and very rarely leaves the house unless it's to go to see his grandmother or other family members.
He's currently on 1mg of Risperidone twice a day one in morning and one before he goes to sleep.
He has trouble sleeping usually wont go off until gone 3am
in 2011 his medical was done through the doctors we believe he was then called to a meeting with his adviser as he's in the work related group and she said he has not got to have a review until September 2013.
We are now in April and he's starting to get stressed thinking he will be loosing his benefit because of all this faff with universal credit.
Back in august 2010 we tried for DLA all we got was a response that they were looking into the claim and then nothing ever since.
we were wondering if he would be eligible for PIP payments when they come into force after 12th June in our area of south wales.
My solicitor has stated that he should be eligible for enhanced rate of PIP
He has never worked left school at 15 due to his mental health.
And at this moment in time he's severely depressed from the thought of loosing his money.
Any info will help.
Cheers
