    Heya @Deanos1979 and welcome to the community. :)

    Congratulations on the three years, that's huge! I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling at work.  Have you spoken to your boss about reasonable adjustments? They could make a huge difference.

     When it comes to PIP, you can put in for a MR (mandatory reconsideration) and if that fails, a tribunal.  They sound a lot scarier than they actually are though.  We find many people get turned down for PIP as the DWP like you to fill in the forms in a very specific way, which isn't very helpful at all!
