Hello @lizmcca, welcome to the community!
I’m sorry to hear about the problems you’ve been having with PIP. Have you applied for a Mandatory Reconsideration?
We have a lot of useful information about appealing a DWP benefits decision on our website. You may find the following video on mandatory reconsiderations of interest:

PIP points awarded for how the conditions affect you not for the conditions themselves.
As well as the advice above Disabled Rights UK site has a good guide to all stages of PIP including a draft diary you can adapt.
