Turned down for pip again. I have ataxic cerebral palsy, some days I can walk OK,some days,I have to keep stopping due to hip pain and fatigue. I told them this,but they say no.

PIP is assessed on how you are on the majority of days.
If you want to challenge the decision you need to start with a Mandatory Recosnideration

This sounds really difficult for you @brian1958. Would anything, in particular, help things to feel more manageable for you at the moment?0

I am learning to live with it,but thank you .
I do feel that pip assers need education.0 -
They do not need to have any knowledge of any conditions because it's not about a diagnosis. It's a claimants responsibility to fully explain how your conditions affect you.

I think many people feel the same on that point @brian1958!
Do you think you might submit a Mandatory Reconsideration (MR)?
