    Hi 1414, I'm sure there must be a thread for benefit problems that may have some ideas and help on it? (I'm new so not looked yet!)

    Hope you can get some good advice xx

    The first stage to challenge a PIP decision is to ask for a Mandatory Reconsideration
    Have you asked for a copy of the assessment report ?

    It is important to understand the points system, desciptors and criteria for an award. A good place to start is the B&W self tesat

    There is lots of good info on this site about the appeal process. please have a look round and come back with any questions
