Son with ME not awarded PIP

I have had disability for 15 years, caused through a damaged vertebra. I have two sons who also have disability, one through psoriatic arthritis, one through ME, so I have a fair bit of experience of disability in the family.
Both my sons were receiving DLA, but we're told to apply for Personal Independence Payments because their DLA was ending. The son with arthritis was awarded PIP by a tribunal, but the son with ME was not, so now he has not even got a personal income as he cannot work. I am told there is no further appeal for him, but they are leaving him destitute. Is there anything else we can do to help him in this situation?

Hi lessel and welcome
You need to get trained advice from CAB or similar
You can ask for a staement of reason and the record of proceedings. You can appeal to the UTT if an error inlaw can be found, hence you need trained advice.
As he has no award in payment you can submit a new claim as there is no waiting time
Have a look at the B&W self test to see where he can score points
