    Hi @jasman, and a warm welcome to the community!

    Thank you for sharing your experiences- I'm so sorry to hear about what you've been through.

    When you say you're going through it again, are you now in the process of doing a new application? If so, Scope's information on PIP and Citizens Advice's guidance on filling in the PIP form may be worth a read. Do keep us updated and come back to us with any questions!

    Try to get some f2f advice from CAB or similar, or welfare rights.

    Unfortunately what you have suffered is nothing new.
