PIP journey nightmare to appeal - still a nightmare

All I can say is:
august 2019 applied for PIP due to sever W mental health problems
December 2019 pip assessment
Jan PIP scored zero on both parts
MR March 2020
Appeal this week- tribunal asked all the right questions -
letter today still zero.

Shocked and disappointed. Being anxious about going out of the house and not being able to mix at all without severe consequences. I was told we could apply for PIP for mental health. All it has done has made it way worse.
Shocked !!!! Can’t appeal to upper tribunal as doesn’t appear to be any points of law.
Can’t be bothered to re apply due to the stress and anxiety caused.
my advice - don’t apply in the first place !!!

I would be interested to know, as Poppy asks, if you had any support throughout the process? It can be very hard to do on your own.

I'm glad you had the support of those but when i said help, i meant from an advice agency. You request the SOR and ROP by emailing HMCTS. Do be aware that there's no timescales how long it will take to receive these. The Judge will only write these if requested to do so and they do this in their spare time. Once they are written, you will be sent them. Once you receive them you will need to speak to an advice agency near you to ask if they can read then to see if they can find the error in law.
so fingers crossed and don’t give up .
This was a decision made by the Tribunal.
im glad you have some one helping you
You can only a peal a decision of a Tribunal on error of law. If this isn't found you can't take it any further and expert advice is needed here, once the statement of reason's has been received. An internet forum isn't the place for this sort of advice because we don't know anything about the case.
I just re read the topic I was getting confused I’m sorry bout this news . But people with mental illness do claim pip successfully I can vouch for that . You could always apply again . My partner had to support me with my assessment . Also I did have a lot of medical Evidence that mentioned how my illness affected me I had a lot of crisis team plans that were given to me so I sent those off with the form as well as a prescription list . Are you under a mental health team at all ? They might have Care plans they can send you out or any new edvidence you could always apply again but I think you would need new edvidence but don’t count me on that .
