Hi @cf1, and a warm welcome to the community!
I'm sorry to hear about your experience, that must have been tough. Hopefully some of our experienced members will be in touch and able to offer you some advice with this. -
Hi,Any decision can be appealed by first asking for the Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) then Tribunal if the MR fails. You have 1 month from the date of the decision to request the MR, if the decision was made after this then you'll need to put your reasons why you're late requesting it. You do infact have 13 months to request the MR/Tribunal from the date the decision was made, providing you have good reason.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.

Please remember how PIP works. It assesses you based on some narrow descriptors and not a diagnosis or treatment provided.
Medical records are unlikely to prove that these descriptors apply to you.
