Hi @tickety66 and a warm welcome to the community. Glad to have you with us.
A quick look in the PIP/DLA forum here will show you, at least, that you're not alone. You need, however, to chat with one of our benefits advisors and they will be in touch with you as soon as possible.
Bear with us in the meantime and perhaps have a look around the site? But keep in touch.
Here and listening,
Richard

Hi @tickety66, I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. It must feel so frustrating to have been through the whole process without success.

Have you thought about what you'd like to do next? You may like to check out this other recent discussion about an unsuccessful tribunal where @CockneyRebel gave some great advice on possible next steps!
