Welcome to the community and thank you for sharing a little bit about yourself and your experiences. I'm sorry to hear that your PIP application has been refused, I can imagine that wasn't what you wanted to hear. A lot of our members have great experience in this area, and I'm sure a lot of them have some really valuable advice for you on what to do moving forward. I also wanted to ask if you are currently getting support from your GP with regards to your PTSD, anxiety and depression?
A mandatory consideration is the first step to appealing a PIP decision. I've provided some resources for you below to help with this process, if you feel as though it is something that you'd like to consider:- Challenging a PIP decision - mandatory reconsideration - Citizens Advice
- Challenge a benefit decision (mandatory reconsideration) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
- Challenging a DWP decision | Disability charity Scope UK
