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!1
