pip appeal refused

Hi I'm just wondering if anyone as appealed to the upper tribunal.
My daughter is 16yrs old and I'm her appiontee so i opted for an oral appeal then they written to me saying they would more information face to face so i went on last Wednesday. Yesterday i got my notice they took everything of her she originally got 9points for living and 8points mobility. But i really dont understand how thet can just do that she as a serious heart condition and scoliosis everyday is a struggle. So i just need to know should i appeal to the upper tribunal now. Thank in advance.

So really don't know what to do now
Pleased that you got some good advice from CAB. At least if people lose PIP they can always reapply.
There are certain situations where you can appeal to the Upper Tribunal. It is good advice to get the statement of reasons from the tribunal because this is usually the first stage.
I suggest you will need help if you are to appeal to the Upper Tribunal and that you should contact your local services. We can answer questions here but we cannot provide a casework service i'm afraid.

I got my letter yesterday to say I have been turned down for PIP.
I am upset but not surprised because many of us have been turned down but what I am angry
Are you going to ask for a mandatory reconsideration and then appeal if necessary? Over 60% of appeals are successful. There's advice on the Scope site Support and Info section about requesting mandatory reconsiderations and making appeals.
Yes I will be doing the mandatory reconsideration first and if that fails I will appeal it.
Have you heard about the supplementary payments that can be paid for up to a year when you appeal?
Not to clear myself on that one.
Hi shirles54
Supplementary payments apply to claims in Northern Ireland only and if that applies to you there's more info here
The advice on mandatory reconsiderations and appeals can be found here
Please post back on here if you have any further questions
Best wishes
