Hi @Anthony1987

PIP is not based on the diagnosis, it's about how it affects you on a day to day basis. You can try a PIP self test to see how you could score.

Yeah alreday filled it out with cistern advice and there even said i should get something cos can't do much bending with my stomch and left legs shakes when lifting but she not put anything like that'd down I've got my local MP involved now as there said the same thing so should get it 2nd time around.

Hi,

I'm not sure what your local MP can do here. PIP is about how your conditions affect you daily. It's not just about bending down. If you don't fit the descriptors then you won't be awarded points, it's different to DLA.

Your next step is a mandatory reconsideration and you have 28 days to request this. There's no point starting another claim and sending the same evidence because the chances are you'll keep being refused. You should do the MR then Tribunal if the MR fails and most do. Contact your local welfare rights for help with writing the letter for the MR because you'll need to point out where you think you should have scored the points and why.
