Appeal the decision or start a new claim?
I had been on DLA for years due to Arthritis and the damage done to my spine. I was sent to PIP and this was cancelled. On appealing, when I received the report there were wrong details on it. By this point I'd given up fighting, depression had kicked in. Although I still work (reduced hours from full time to part time), the DLA was used to replace my car to a more suitable 1 and to install a stairlift in our home to make things easier for me to cope with. Any advice on applying again for PIP? Should I contest the previous decision from some time ago now or submit a new claim?

Please please let me know if this would be helpful?????
Unfortunately it would be too late to appeal your last decision as you can only appeal the decision after 1 month on receiving their decision.
However, you can re-apply, we have lots of information about PIP and if you have any further questions, please let us know as there are very knowledgeable members here in the community
