Hi,Yes, we have lots of members exactly the same, which is normal on any internet forum because you mostly only read the bad stories. Those that are successful, have no questions so we don't hear their story.PIP isn't awarded based on any diagnosis, it's how those conditions affect you against the PIP descriptors.Are you challenging the decision? You can do this by first requesting the Mandatory Reconsideration (MR)0

Hello @xxxLISAxxx
Welcome to the community, I hope you are well.
Sorry to hear that you have been refused PIP, we do have many members on the community who have experienced that before so you certainly are not alone.
Have you carried out a mandatory reconsideration?0 -

To constantly reapply using the same evidence you previously used will likely see a constant refusal.PIP isn't awarded based on any diagnosis, it's how your conditions affect you against the PIP descriptors.0

Hi @xxxLISAxxx and @sprolliemum_1 and welcome to the forum, I hope you can find some useful advice and support here. I'm very sorry to hear you've both been refused PIP.
It's an incredibly disheartening and stressful thing to go through, so make sure you take the time to look after yourselves and if you can, check in with loved ones or someone you can go to for emotional support.
When you feel ready to make your case again, I can recommend a few places which can help with challenging PIP refusals, the Turn2Us website, Citizens Advice, and Advicelocal who can help you locally. And of course, there's all the advice from our members as well.
If either you need anything further, don't hesitate to ask
