Thank you for joining and sharing. You come to the right place for support, advice, information.
Sorry what has happened. May I suggest Citizens Advice have a question by question guide filling in a PIP claim form. On their website which you might find useful.
You could also contact your local Bureau.
Please can I explain the benefit is awarded on your ability to do key every day activities. Not on your health or diagnosis.
With each claim you should have got a booklet that explains what you need to do.
I would contact CAB they have a wealth of knowledge and experience. Help with forms. As I have stated.
You can also find out more about information about benefits. on our website. Which is useful and hope explains everything you need to do regarding appeals.
Also look at our information about appealing a DWP benefits decision
We are a supportive, friendly community. Care and share.
Please ask if we can advise we can help.
Pleasure to meet you
Take care
