&gt; Sadly in the UK it&#x27;s running out of control, it&#x27;s also now part of the new benefit package new PIP (DLA replacement) for working adults.<p>This is bollocks.<p>1) PIP is not an &quot;in work&quot; benefit.  Being in work doesn&#x27;t exclude a claimant from getting PIP, but it&#x27;s not a requirement.<p>2) PIP requires a long term illness or disability - You must have had it for 3 months, and expect it to last for at least 9 months.<p>3) PIP doesn&#x27;t use just diagnoses, it also uses an assessment of your ability.  Two people could have the same diagnosis and one person could get PIP while the other could be excluded from PIP.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gov.uk&#x2F;pip&#x2F;eligibility" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gov.uk&#x2F;pip&#x2F;eligibility</a><p>&gt; <i>Daily living difficulties</i><p>&gt; You may get the daily living component of PIP if you need help with things like:<p>&gt; preparing or eating food<p>&gt; washing, bathing and using the toilet<p>&gt; dressing and undressing<p>&gt; reading and communicating<p>&gt; managing your medicines or treatments<p>&gt; making decisions about money<p>&gt; engaging with other people<p>From that list it&#x27;s pretty clear that most people with ASD aren&#x27;t covered, or would get the minimum amount.<p>And you mention DLA - people with ASD would have been entitled to the care or mobility component of DLA.
