Pip mandatory consideration and appeal

Hello
My partner went for his pip assessment a few weeks ago and got a no, we've now asked for a reconsideration.
My partner has suffered with pain in his joints since April 2017, at first was told reactive/rheumatoid arthritis, however February this year we was told vitamin d deficiency. He also has autism and anxiety.
I was just wondering on success rates upon appeals, and also what other financial help could he get if pip really doesn't work out, we struggle as we only get my income of 1000 a month and 250 from universal credit to pay rent.
Thanks, Payge

What group is he in with U/C if he is in the non work group he will get a little extra a month U/C
Wait and see what pip come back with if you are not happy get the assessor's report go through it and start a MR.
Good luck lets hope all goes well with the award so you don't end up at tribunal.
UC won't just put you in the higher band
You have to wait 14,weeks.
If I'm wrong I'll happily stand corrected
Or should I say I've not heard of it.
Is he getting the 328
Extra if he's in the lcwra that could help with pip.
As already assessed
Sorry, as I said I'll stand corrected.
