Hi @Samrad33 and welcome to the community.
I don't have the answer to your specific question (I'm new here and just finding my way around) but I know that PIP questions come up all the time and other members will be along to point you in the best direction
Hope you're having a tolerable day. Best wishes,

4. “Pip” groups where you can share each other’s experience’s.

Hi Samrad and welcome
It is important to understand the points system, descriptors and the criteria for a PIP award. A good starting place is the B&W self test

Have you asked for a copy of the assessment report ?
The DWP should send you a copy when asked and this will tell you how the assessor scored you and which areas you need to address

Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste
