Make sure you understand the points system and the reliability criteria so that you can construct your claim accordingly

Hi @Gill1968 and a warm welcome to our online community. How are you doing?
I'm sorry to hear that your son's PIP claim was unsuccessful. As mentioned, it's important to identify the points that you believe he should have been awarded and then work on providing evidence to support why. The second thread @calcotti signposted to gives excellent information on how best to evidence your son's difficulties satisfying the PIP activities, so please make sure to give that a read
Also, if you feel that you need additional support with your claim, you can use the Advice Local website to find a welfare advice organisation close to where you live (enter your postcode, select 'Welfare benefits', then scroll down the following page).
If you have any more questions, please do give us a shout. And just to make you aware, I've amended the title of your thread and moved it to our PIP, DLA and AA category to make it more visible to people reading.
Wishing both you and your son all the best, take care.0
