PIP payment

hi all, just found this site. I suffer from crohns, and have done so since 2011. I have been on dwp payments, and applied for pip payments. just received a letter today, refusing my claim totally. I am in shock here. trying to work things out, next step, etc. just cannot believe it. does anyone know of help, how to get through / win an appeal, any information would be much appreciated. thanks in advance. apologies if this has been posted incorrectly.

i agree to get professional help.
i didn’t and found it all extremely overwhelming and wish I had.
i was really lucky, only had to wait 3 months on my tribunal and won, can’t remember much about it but won.
it a long hard road but be strong if you can

they make it as hard as they can so you give up, please don’t.
there are people out there worse than us all but you still should fight for what you feel you deserve.
If I ever have reviews, assessments etc I will definitely see CAB.
not sure about your local MP but if you don’t ask you’ll always wonder, it worth a cal,, letter or email.

i mean CAB or your local law centre if your area has one.
the fact they didn’t read the GP letter is wrong, what’s the point in asking for one if the don’t read it or take notice of it!!!
the systems disgusting, make me so angry.
yes, try a relax and give yourself a day or so to think.
im sure plenty people on here will give you knowledgeable advice
You need to ask for a mandatory reconsideration (MR) and if this is turned down appeal to a Tribunal. CAB or similar can help you with MR and appeal.
Have you asked DWP for a copy of the assessor's report? You'll need this for the MR.
Have a look at the B&W self test
