Hi Everybody, I'm Matt, CEO of Reading Welfare Rights, a small charity in Berkshire that specialises in PIP cases, most of which we take at the Appeal stage.
I am also a PIP claimant, so I'm very invested in the process and can see PIP from all sides.
For more information about our successful charity, see here:

Very well thanks, dealing with some PIP cases at the moment where "No Specialist Input" is given as a reason to not award PIP: Absolute nonsense and easy to bat away

That sounds really frustrating @WelfareRights
Do you feel you need "specialist input" and, if so, what would this look like for you in an ideal world?
