I'm sorry your partner had such a tough time applying for PIP the first time around. It can be a full on process and I'm not surprised it's made you hesitant to try again.
For more information on how to apply for PIP/fill in the claim form, please visit Scope's Completing your PIP claim form webpage. Whilst, it's especially important to give real life examples of how your partners impairment impacts her ability to carry out the daily living/mobility activity descriptors she will be scored against, as outlined on this Citizens Advice webpage.
To get free independent advice with your new claim, you can also visit Advicelocal. if you input your postcode and select 'Welfare benefits' from the drop down list it will provide you with a list of organisations close to where you live.
If your partner's impairments impact the activity descriptors mentioned above, there is definitely a point with carrying on but do make use of the free specialist welfare support out there if you need it
Please let us know if you have any more questions. Good luck!
