It's not unusual for the MR decision not to change because only about 23% of decisions change at that stage.

There's more chance of success at Tribunal providing you either appear in person or have a telephone/video hearing and then there's about 68% success rate.

Paper based hearings have a much less success rate at only between 5-8%.

Whether you proceed any further is your decision.

Hi @kat0611, welcome to the community. Sorry to read your PIP was denied, it's such a disheartening process sometimes.

As Poppy mentioned above, many people do report that they have a better time at tribunal, so it's worth giving it a go if you feel up to it. There's a few details about tribunal on the Scope website that you might like to read through.

If you have any questions about it, please don't be afraid to ask. I'll move your post over to our PIP section in case you need any more help
