My wife was turned down for pip and then turned down at mandatory reconsideration. She received her two forms one for appeal and one for her to keep.. They didn't send anything else so she phoned and they said they would send ssc1 but no joy after a week.. Any ideas what happens please anyone

It can be very stressful and soul destroying going for an appeal. But with the help of Citizens advice they will be very good at supporting your wife and yourself through the process of appeal AND can send a rep to support your wife in the actual appeal (if f2f) restarts.
During the covid crisis appeals can be by telephone or paper based.
Other members may be more experienced with advice on pip appeals and come here to give good advice.
Rest assured that this community will be there for you and your wife as you both go through the process.
I wish you both luck and please do update the community as you go along.
We have lots advice on here from other members who have gone through the process, but dont let some of them put you off
Good luck and keep us updated
Glad you are getting help
Hope you're well
I don't see any reason why not. As long as the contents of the letter don't contradict in any way what has already been said from your end.
Best of luck with the appeal, let us know how you get on.
