Hello,as you well know DLA is about your illnesses and disability. Whereas PIP is about your abilities so disputed your medical history if you cannot meet the PIP descriptors and awarded enough points to be awarded a PIP benefits. Have you or did you have a MR before taking your case to tribunal.

Hi LucySam25
Like you when I first started on PIP they did the interview at my home when the result came back from them they said I did not qualify for anything due to "the way I had answered their questions) the answers they had down was nothing like what I had told the guy so I called them stating that the answers were not what I has said they said they have to work off the report and there is nothing they can do but when I stated that if they want I will send them a recording of what happened in the interview which I had on my CCTV system they suddenly said they will arrange a new interview and after that one came back I was granted lower rate for care and higher rate for mobility so before you go to the court make sure you have worked through the reply to you and what you said to them they are not meant to make up their own answers just to keep the numbers low and make sure you only tell them how you are at your worst not when you are at your best if you are going to attend the court take someone with you and tell them you could not attend on your own.
I sent in a doctors report from my own doctor (it cost £25 but was worth it) along with a record of my medication for the last few years (which you can download from your doctor if your surgery is up to date with patient records.
good luck with your claim.
