PIP Appeal Question please

RonD84

Hi can anyone tell me can you appeal a pip decision based on one part like Question 10 managing finances if you wasn't awarded any points. I'm happy with what points i was awards for the rest but just unsure if I can appeal based on one specific question. Any help appreciated thanks 👍🏻

Before even considering challenging the award make sure you understand what is being considered.

If you do do an MR DWP are unlikely to change parts you have you said you are happy with but they can look at the whole award and can may changes.

The big question is, if you were awarded points here would it be enough for you have a higher award? It's pointless challenging a decision if you can't.

Hi thanks for the comments, I was on enhanced daily living before the renewal that took almost 2 years through COVID and the that had backdated applications to clear, But the 2 points they didn't award for help with budgeting means I was awarded standard this time, But my situation hasn't changed, the health professional I spoke to didn't completey write down what I told her.

That sounds really frustrating @RonD84 - being awarded differently despite your circumstances not changing

It was as these decision makers don't understand the stress it causes people, Adjusting awards when nothing has changed its basically 2 different decision makers having different views, Never mind people are going through worse in life
