Hi @KamShergill - Welcome to this friendly community from me too. I'm sorry to read about your arthritis, as that's something I suffer too.If you are considering re-applying then, if you haven't seen them, it would be a good idea to look at the PIP descriptors carefully, to see where you think you might get points. That my help you decide. See: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/personal-independence-payment-assessment-guide-for-assessment-providers/pip-assessment-guide-part-2-the-assessment-criteriaAs you will know, PIP is about how your disability affects you, so re-applying using the same information as you have done this time, may also face a similar rejection. So, please look through the information, & you will see pain mentioned also, which should be taken into account. It's a good idea to describe any problems using a couple of examples illustrating the difficulty you have with any of the relevant descriptors.

Hi and welcome,May i ask if you requested the Tribunal after the Mandatory Reconsideration decision remained the same? Most MR decisions remain the same so it's not unusual for people to have to take it to Tribunal. If you didn't may i ask why?Please have a look at the link above that @chiarieds has posted because it will give you more understanding of the descriptors and what they mean.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
