Hello @kazzer2233 Pleased to meet you welcome.
In reply to your question. I would in my opinion. Understand the difficulties and the problems around PIP. I would suggestion contact CAB or welfare rights.
All I can add also have a look at our posts and threads on PIP. For further information and advice from our community.
As you are having problems with your disability . Have a look at our information. Talk about Specific Condition for information, advice. Lots of comments and talk , chat and support.
Hope that helps.
Take care

Hi @Kazzer2233,
Welcome to Scope's online community! It's great to have you on board.
As @thespiceman says, Citizens Advice may be able to help you and have lots of information about the appeals process on their website.
We also have videos on the Scope website about the different steps on the DWP appeals process, which you may also find useful - including information about the tribunals stage.
I hope this helps!Liam -

Forget everybody else just concentrate on yourself. And if you are lucky to get a good assessor and a half decent decision maker you too will probably get an award.

Then we have the DWP. Each decision maker will consider if an award is due or not in his/her own way. You can have 6 different decision makers who will probably give 6 different awards or not.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -

In my first assessment the report came back with a recommendation of 0 points.
A MR was carried out with no further evidence sent in which saw points given to make an award of Standard Care. I then sent in a report from my GP which resulted in the DWP looking at it a third time and decided of an award Enhanced Care & Mobility. Three different decision makers three different outcomes.

Not all assesers are dishonest

They had three goes at getting it right in my case and eventually completely ignored the assessors opinion. This was not an isolated instance - the second re-assessment also resulted in a report that once again recommended no points. Yet on MR a different DWP decision maker looked at the case, looked at the evidence that was sent in two years earlier for the first assessment (GP's report) and once again went completely against the assessors report and awarded Enhanced Care & Mobility.

Yes I no what you mean your referring too Mr decisions .it's just that your mentioned it in my post about assesers report. Which dident natch up .I haven't had an originally decision from dwp yet .back have copy if report .My question in my case was only does the dwp decision maker usually go with the report and evidence
