Ensure that benefit assessors are trained in autism
I think that benefit assessors often don't fully appreciate how autism can impact people and this can lead to people being refused benefits unfairly. I want all benefit assessors to be trained in autism, to try and ensure claimants are treated fairly, and not denied benefits unjustly.
Being autistic can severely impact someone's ability to go about their daily life. I think that if benefit assessors received training in autism, they would be more understanding of this when conducting assessments. This could help ensure people with autism are treated fairly during the assessment process.
