PIP Award refused

Pilotsbay777

Hi. Please accept my apologies if this is not the correct platform to seek raise the following issue I am a novice . 

I applied for PIP back in Feb 2022 for a variety of conditions.

1. Spondylosis disc prolapsed
2. OCD
3. Psychological Pain Syndrome
4. Re current depression and Anxiety

Sent in supported evidence from specialists

Months after delays received a telephone assessment lasted 15mins. They wrote to me refused my claim awarded nothing requested a review rejected that then appealed through Law Centre they asked me to attend court I couldn't given I suffer from depression and anxiety and this forced me to withdrew exacerbating my mental health. I seeked advice from a Law Centre they appealed my claim telling dwp I should have awarded points but received nothing .  Anyhow I have since been diagnosed with a further 2 conditions recently 

PTSD 
 PARADOX PANIC DISORDER 

can someone advise where I stand with this ? I struggle with my mental health mostly and physical health daily DWP seem not interested . 

Thank you

For the Tribunal was it a paper based hearing? If so then the success rate of those is exceptionally low at between 5-8%. If you had requested either a telephone/video/face to face hearing then the success rate would have jumped to about 70%.

PIP isn't awarded based on any diagnosis. You can reapply but doing so using the same evidence you previously used could see another refusal.

It does help to have some understanding of the descriptors and what they mean before reappling. Have a read of this. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/personal-independence-payment-assessment-guide-for-assessment-providers/pip-assessment-guide-part-2-the-assessment-criteria
