Oh I'm so sorry to hear this, @Jude62. It might seem overwhelming now but there are loads of Online Community members (who unfortunately have been in similar positions) and advisors to help you out with the appeals process.
When you're feeling up to it, this information on appealing a DWP decision is a good place to start. Let us know how it goes and we'll do what we can to support you. -
Thank you.

Ok since 1998 diagnosed with curvature of the spine with polyarthritis of the joints then got worse in constant pain with my back I had an mri scan and was told I have multilevel degenerative disc disease and spondylitis of the spine to add to that depression then rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis 2012 had a brain scan which showed Chearing malformation of the Brain which is a painful condition and it effects my spine I take seizures now and again this is getting worse and my gp told my husband there is no cure so there you have it.

I was awarded DLA around the 90s can' the remember date I had the papers to prove it then whenter I rang up they said no you haven't won!!!! 9 year ago I won my appeal so am I better of course not worse.

Hi all I have medical letters from my gp and rheumatologist who tells me my osteoarthritis is progressive my knees etc hip back are progressive my spine is worse my big toe has hardly any movement which causes me lot of pain I have been told that I have degenerative disc disease. THE pip told me to send this evidence and ask for a mandatory decision if it still no then I will appeal. To be told this news and now there is medical evidence.
-
Hello but don't you think I have already done this! and the medical letters state what I can do and not do, I think you are mis reading what I have said not being nasty but I am sick to the back teeth when a pip person says my hands are normal when they have been xrayed and i have bone wastge and progressive osteoarthritis, depression, degenerative disc disease, brain disorder, hip problems need i go on!!!!!!!!!

I got fed up having to go over the same material time and again
and felt like screaming. But it was worth it in the end as PIP tribunal awarded me enhanced both elements. -
The decision is based more on the effects of the activities on your day to day living rather than your actual disability. Look at the DWP guide to assessors and reflect that on your facts.
