I'm so sorry to hear this @parvez. As Mike says, it's important to pursue a Mandatory Reconsideration to overturn the decision. Have a look at our guidance on DWP appeals and do let us know if we can be of any assistance.

i feel the people looking after  me have let me dwn . the case went to the tribunal were it was upheld  but my mental health team did a pip for me going back a year . both cases the DLA and PIP were done by the same committee. they upheld the DLA but  gave me the standard rate of PIP . I just dont understand ,The DWP only had 6 hours of footgage over different days , me doing a little walking , i was told by the diabete nurse to walk and by my mental health councillor to engage with people , thats what i was doing .
