PIP and Access to Work Application Support in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland

Applying for disability benefits shouldn’t be a full-time job.

But for many of us, that’s exactly what it becomes.

Endless paperwork. Confusing forms.

Systems that ask for our worst days, and still don’t believe us.

I support autistic, neurodivergent, and other disabled people across England and Wales in navigating two of the most important - but most exhausting - support systems:

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Access to Work.

I don’t just help you fill in forms.

I don’t just help you tell the truth.

I help you find the words for things you’ve never been able to explain.

The things you’ve masked for years. The parts of you that get misunderstood, dismissed, or ignored.

I help you name your pain, your needs, your barriers - in your own voice, with clarity and without shame.

This is what I do every day as an autistic peer-support coach.

I sit with people who’ve been told they’re “too much” or “not enough,” and help them translate their lived experience into language the system can’t ignore.

PIP: Personal Independence Payment

PIP is a benefit for people who live with a disability or long-term condition that affects their ability to function day to day.

I support you with:

  • Preparing your initial PIP application

  • Writing clear, honest impact statements

  • Understanding how to describe sensory, emotional, and executive functioning barriers

  • Gathering relevant documentation (GP letters, symptom tracking, etc.)

  • Navigating Mandatory Reconsideration and Tribunal preparation if needed

I bring:

Lived experience, a trauma-informed lens, and deep understanding of how autistic needs often get dismissed.

You don’t need to justify your reality. I believe you.

I help you write it in a way that can be understood by the DWP.

Access to Work in England, Scotland, and Wales

Access to Work is a UK government program that provides funding for disability-related support in the workplace for those working.

My autism coaching services qualify under Access to Work.

I’ve supported autistic professionals - public sector and private - in using this scheme to get autism coaching that actually works for them:

Goal-setting, executive functioning tools, workplace communication, sensory planning, masking and burnout recovery, and more.

All from a Neuroaffirming, non-medicalised perspective.

I help with:

  • Understanding if you’re eligible

  • Filling out the Access to Work application

  • Describing your support needs clearly

  • Responding to Access to Work assessors

  • Providing quotes, support letters, and professional info for the application

  • Delivering the actual coaching and support once approved (or for whatever other support you may need - it need not necessarily be coaching with me!)

Why Work With Me?

I’m autistic, disabled, and I’ve lived this myself

My coaching is grounded in the Neurodiversity Paradigm - not fixing you, but supporting you
