To constantly reapply using the same evidence you previously used will likely see another refusal.Have you ever challenged the decision by first requesting the Mandatory Reconsideration. (MR)? Though the chances of the decision changing at this stage is very low, you can then proceed to Tribunal where your chances of success are much higher. This a much better option that to reapply all the time.Please be aware that PIP isn't about your ability to work, people claim PIP and work. Whether you're entitled to anything will depend on how your conditions affect you against the 12 PIP activities.It helps to have some understanding of the descriptors and what they mean.
