PIP Appeals
How long is the duration for PIP Appeals to the FTT. I applied for PIP daily living on 17/07/2024 and my application was refused on 05/11/2024. I then apply for MR through Citizen Advice Lambeth and Merton and it was refused on 05/12/2026. Centre made appeal for me to the FTT on 17/10/2025 and in October 2025, the DWP rang me and said since I have applied before for PIP on 02/02/2021 and my application was refused and I took the appeal onto the CoA, she will either Change the decision or schedule another appeal hearing. The thing is the DWP text me on 11/01/2025 and said my has been received and they will make decision within 15 weeks. The DWP also text me on 13/02/2025 and said that they will make a decision by 28/04/2025. When I never got any reply as stated, I then rang them on 29/04/2025 and they said that they have made a decision since 26/02/2025. I told them that I never received any post and they events send another decision letter for me. On the 17/12/2025, the government stop discontinued funding for Centre 70 and they closed. Now Brixton Advice Centre has decided to represent me and the DWP has accepted it. Since 17/07/2025 I have been tracking my appeal to the present. On my first appeal I never understand the PIP regulations, which says a prosthetic is an aid. My condition is dental issues and PTSD, which is affecting me daily for eating, talking, meeting with other people. According to the PIP regulations, I should have scored 8 points and get the standard living component, because since my attacked on 04/10/2014, I lost several front teeths and my lower jawbone was fractured, so I am using dentures which is classified as prosthetic that aid me daily. The DWP made a mistake in my 1st and 2nd application and they never mentioned about this prosthetic regulations.
