Hello @rihad123 - & welcome to the community. There should be details towards the back of your decision letter about a Mandatory Reconsideration (MR), which is where another decision maker will look at everything again. This is best done within a month from the date on your decision letter (tho you can do one within 13 months, appealing to a tribunal if your late MR isn't accepted by the DWP).

A MR is best put in writing by letter, or simply using this form: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/683380/if-you-disagree-with-a-decision-made-by-dwp.PDF

Hope this helps, but please do come back with any questions.

You can appeal the decision by submitting a mandatory reconsideration 

Do it in writing go through each descriptor you think you should score more points and explain why 

Give real life examples of what happened when you try and do the task 

Any support you need,  if you can't do it why not,  any aids you use 
What are the consequences of doing it 

Can you do it safely and reliably and repeated 

There is lots of info on here in the pip section about doing this

than thank you for your help the problem I read about MR they can stop your pip that’s why I’m really scared to do it

It is rare for them to stop your award or reduce it 

The most likely outcome is that there will be no change 

But some are successful and get higher award

Please don't worry @rihad123 -  your current PIP claim would continue until a decision is made on a MR. Most likely your award would stay the same, tho some increase. It's rare for an award to actually decrease. Unfortunately the success rate with a MR is, I think, currently less than 20%, but, if followed by a tribunal (which is independent of the DWP) this is much more successful.
