    Yes you can if you have no award in payment but that will limit your appeal result to the date of the new decision.
    So if your appeal grants you enhanced rate and your new decision only standard then you will only get enhanced for the period upto the new decision date. Any new decision does come with the right to appeal

    @CockneyRebel how does this work, you apply again. But what happens with your original claim and from what date would you use? Thanks David

    Claim 1 is valid from the date of your claim until the date of any new decision
    Example
    claim 1st january, no points awarded
    MR completed 1st april no points awarded
    Put in for appeal 1st may
    appeal hearing 1st december

    New claim submitted 1st june
    New claim 1st august awarded 8 points DL and 8 points mobility so new decision reached

    Tribunal hearing on origional claim 1st dec awards 12 points DL and 12 points mobility
    Tribunal decision will only be paid from 1st jan until 1st august when new decision made on 2nd claim. Award then paid at new decision rate ie. standard for both

    Thank thank you @CockneyRebel so you think it’s worth putting in another claim because atm in my area the waiting list for appeals tribunerals are at 30+ weeks.

    @Scooot09XXX I also thought the same when I received my first report.

    Yes, your first assessment/ decision will stay in force until a new decision is made.
    A new decision can be made at MR or by the tribunal or by a new claim.
    A new claim can only be made if you have no award in payment
    If your condition worstens to the extent that you fulfill the criteria for a higher award then you can put in for a change of circumstance. This is likely to trigger a new assessment and therefore a new decision

    Unless your condition has changed significantly or your first submission was so poor then a new claim is unlikely to produce a different result

    @CockneyRebel My first claim was extreme, the only difference now is I have full diagnosis’s, plus extra side effects/conditions from the first lot of conditions.

    PIP is not about a diagnosis but the effect your condition has on the things you can do.
    If you decide to put in a new claim then you need to fully explain how you meet the criteria for each descriptor.
    As above it can have the effect of limiting your first claim as it will bring about a new decision. You will also have to make sure that you don't get mixed up between the two claims, however you can withdraw your new claim at any time prior to having a new assessment if your tribunal comes good.
    The decision is yours

    Thanks @CockneyRebel I shall speak to the charity that helped me with the appeal and see what they think. Because it’s waiting another 30 weeks for my appeal, it’s a long way off.

    PIP is not about what conditions you have but about how they affect your daily life and mobility

    Starting a new claim is not the answer. Using the same evidence you previously used will most likely see the same outcome as you've recently had. Before starting a new claim you need to get expert advice and a GP is not the person to speak to about a PIP claim.
    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.
