My fiance has been refused PIP even though he's dyslexic. He's had it since he was younger (he's in his 30's now like me). He was getting DLA ,but they told him to claim PIP instead and he was refused because he didn't score any points even though his dyslexia never will improve or get better.
He is thinking about trying to claim it again, but he's worried that he might not get an appointment for his assessment on one of his mum's days off work as she only has two days a week off as she's a carer.
Should my fiance still reapply for PIP in the new year?

As for the 'reliability' factor, it is not very often that an assessor or the DWP actually consider this to any great depth - sometimes I have the feeling that both view it as being an unnecessary hurdle to get over which is best ignored - it places far too much variability to the whole process. Both the assessor and the DWP would like to see it as more black and white, cut and dried.
