Is there a period I have to wait before reapplying after losing PIP appeal?

Hi there, this is my first post!
I have spins bifida and I have had what was originally known as mobility allowance, then DLA and then it changed to PIP. I was assessed for PIP and was only awarded the lower rate and not the mobility element. I appealled, which was turned down and then I went to tribunal, which was also turned down. Is there a period I have to wait before reapplying?
Any my advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Lee

Sorry you lost your appeal. You can re-apply for PIP right away.
PIP is awarded for how your conditions affect your daily living and mobility, not for the conditions themselves. Your disabilities have to fit relevant descriptors. Disability Rights UK site (DR) has a good guide to PIP including a draft diary you can adapt. Good idea to submit a 7 day diary with your application.
Mobility eligibility criteria;
Able to walk: 0-20m aided = 12 points - enhanced
20-50m aided = 10 points - standard
20-50m unaided = 8 points - standard
Try to get some f2f advice from CAB or similar, or local authority welfare rights. -
Thank you Matilda

Be aware that the failed appeal hearing will be on file and as such your new claim will have to stronger than it was before.

Hi my wife just lost her pip assessment was on DLA on med care and high mobility now on low care and no mobility they say she can walk up to 50 MTRS yet she uses an electric wheelchair I just don't understand their working out how she can do things she can't and the examiner was constantly asking about her bra wonder he did not ask to see it and her underwear we only just got in the room when she had a severe fit and he said oh I'm not having this and we said she will carry on, I tried to speak and said be quite I need it from your wife he was so rude.

Are you going to appeal, @diesel58?

Yes Matilda

Definitely appeal x I am appealing my PIP. I was awarded low care component but no mobility... I have herniated discs osteoarthritis in my spine and fibromyalgia so in continuous pain... I went to docs yesterday to get a printout of my hospital letters and conditions and meds... when she printed it it just said 'back pain'

My wife got low care and no mobility too she has pyscogenic tremors and fits she can't walk 10 ft never mind the 50mtrs the said she could

It is a complete shambles... the HCP said I could walk unaided, touch my toes, stand on one leg then other, loads of other things... she lied as I sat down through the whole assessment ... luckily my daughter was with me and she is a wca assessor and was disgusted. She has written a letter of complaint to CAPITA whose health care professional , an A&E nurse, did the assessment. Also I have been with my doctors since July last year and only had back pain as an ailment... there were no other conditions... I went yesterday to complain and they admitted they had not yet updated and uploaded any of my previous records... I was fuming... they said they are a year behind with new patient records so no wonder PIP only awarded me low rate, for which I am grateful, but for all that let me down I am heartbroken to be treated like I don't matter ??
