Didn't win my PIP appeal after a year of waiting I got 5 points which is more than I got in February 5 points more lol is there any thing I can do now. Not sure why they said no maybe it's because I work. Does any one else get PIP r know who can help with gorms n stuff as I may not be doing it right lol so tired today xxxxx

I reapplied straight away got assed a week last Monday waiting on decisions,I don't work and only got 5 points and 4 point , you have to walk on water to get it I think 😤 in appeal which was better than the original 2 , I got.

Occupational therapist,get in touch with social service at your local counci offices,ask for an assement,they will won't to know how you manage with personal care in bathroom, how you manage with preparation all the things you went through with pip , did you not get any help with this when you applied?

Get yourself a disability advocate, you can google them on line in your area either town ,city or county depending where you live , or contact CAB , don't ever fill anything in yourself , our Ken will probably put up links to are benefit advice , later on . Don't do any assessment on your own , always take support with you .

Good luck Chris.

I work full time and get pip but I meet all the points. You have to say exactly why you can't do each of the things to meet the points.

Not what you're looking for?
