After my pip assessment i was informed that i had scored no points whatever even though i have sjogrens syndrome and suffer severe anxiety and panic attacks. When i met with the assesor i was shaking hanging onto my husband for support, he kept reassuring me that i was doing well and giving me water, it was the first assessment he had ever done and he was being assessed whilst i was there.
The notice that i got said that i was fine at the interview relaxed and chatty, unbelievable!
I asked for a mandatory consideration and explained i had lots of new medication for sjorgens and i was waiting for a mental health assessment.
I heard a week later that i had still not qualified still 0 points, i rang today and explained that i had received my mental health report stating that i suffer from depression and acute anxiety and bad cognitive skills, they have asked me to send copies which i have, i feel so let down, if this doesn't help i will go further has anyone else experienced anything sililar?

Normally you have a month from the date on your MR decision to make an appeal to tribunal, not a full submission just an SSCS1 and basic reasons for your appeal.
By sending in the new evidence the DWP may be carrying out a new MR and if so may change your award
The success ar MR is published as being aroud 20 % but we don't see anything like that on the forums
While you are waiting to see if an award will be made you could start the appeal process as you have the MR decision letter necessary
It would be a good idea to get f2f advice if possible from CAB or similar
