Hey @Luap, welcome to the community. I'm sorry to hear about the PIP refusal. It happens far too often. The decision makers need things written in a particular way, if they aren't written to explicitly meet the thresholds then point won't be awarded. I know it's very frustrating, but I hope we can get you the right advice and any signpost any support.

First thing you will want to do is to write an MR (Mandatory Reconsideration) letter and send it to the DWP. This is the first step for appealing. The link above will signpost you some good places to see what to write and also organisations you can get support from in completing the MR letter. You can call to ask for a Mandatory Reconsideration, but it is recommended to write/type a letter if possible!

I'll move this over to our PIP category where it will be more visible to those with good PIP knowledge Hopefully we can help get you on the way to having this appealed.
