Hello and welcome robinhood
Firstly, when were you turned down for PIP ?
Did you ask for a mandatory reconsideration ?
There is no waiting time to reapply for PIP if you have no award in payment. If you have exhausted all the appeal options then you should reapply but learn how the system works to stand a better chance of success. The problem with many claims is not the evidence but how it is presented.
Second, try putting your details into an online benefits calculator to get an idea of what may be available to you
Please come back with any questions you have and we will try and help
