My Son who received DLA since the age of 5 has had his application for PIP refused saying he doesn't qualify for pip. I have done an on line assessment and he does. He has a degenerative muscle condition.
I did appeal but was turned down. I was advised to make a fresh claim. Which he did. Now he has received a letter from pip. Saying that he can appeal for the higher appeal.
I am not sure what he should do.
Any advice would be appreciated .
Thanks

Hi thanks for your reply.
Yes I have already done a mandatory appeal.
This was refused. Hence making a fresh claim. He has now received a letter authorising an upper appeal. Just don't know what to do next for the best.

Hi Sarah and welcome
To start a tribunal appeal all you need is the SSCS1 with basic reason for your appeal and a copy of the MR notice.
Once the appeal is accepted you will receive a bundle of all the evidence that the DWP used to make their decision.
You should check that all your evidence is present and then use this bundle to prepare and submit your case
As always it is a good idea to get help from CAB or similar
