    Hi @ffrimpong1.

    Welcome to the community. I'm going to move your discussion to our PIP category where there'll be more people who can help.

    Have you previously been receiving PIP but they've now said you aren't entitled to it?

    I presume this decision was after your PIP award was reviewed, is that correct?

    If so, then the first stage of appealing this decision is called a Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) where another decision maker will look at everything in your review claim again.

    Do put your MR in writing; a letter is fine.

    Remember PIP is not about any diagnosis, but rather how your disability affects certain activities of daily living &/mobility the majority of the time. Have a look again at the activities/descriptors that are looked at in the link below.

    With your MR you should say where you think you should have got points, & why, giving a couple of detailed examples as to the difficulty you face for each applicable descriptor, i.e. when did it happen, where, what exactly happened, did anyone see this, & were there any consequences to attempting/doing an activity?

    Say if you can't do an activity 'reliably,' i.e. safely, to an acceptable standard, repeat as often as one would reasonably expect, or if it takes you much longer than someone without a disability. See this mentioned at the end of the link below.
