I would like some advice regarding my PIP application. I have just been denied it after the manatory reconsideration and would like to take it to an appeal.
I have had 26 operations on my knees due to osteoarthritis and because I have been using crutches for so long I've had to have shoulder surgery. I am in continuous pain, taking numerous painkillers and have reduced mobility. I rarely leave my house due to pain and depression.
Any help would be appreciated- they don't seem to understand that although I can walk a bit ( with crutches)it's not without severe pain.
