Hi i am new here. I have been turned down for pip after being on minimum dla since 2004. why do dwp not listen to professionals ie forensic phsychiatrists report. yet as i work in the justice system the courts accept these reports and legal aid pays for them. It means the judge often gives a lesser sentence or a caution even on the strength of a gps letter

Have you put in for a mandatory reconsideration yet? This is your next step before going to appeal.
There is a lot of information by posters on this forum and we are all willing to help with any answers we can give you.Its worth a try
