Appeal but go to CAB first, you need an advocate. Disability voluntary services can help with, never do anything on your own regarding benefits or jobcentre

Hi I would ring and ask for a mandatory reconsideration. The person that made the Decision on your claim will ring And explain how they come to it. In the mean time gather any additional evidence you may have like prescriptions and type a letter stating that you feel your disability has not been dealt with fairly and severely underestimates your disability. I did exactly the same when I change from dla indefitenate I had an assessment at home and when the report was submitted I was not awarded pip. I did the above and my husband typed a letter stating what I could and could not do according to the descriptors. Two weeks later I was awarded advance rate for both.
