Hi @Bevers1959
So many members tell us about their financial struggles whilst waiting for their appeals and I understand just how tough it is. I dont know whether you can fast track an appeal but if you are struggling with your mental health then please do reach out for support, you can speak to the Samaritans on 116 123.

Hi have been to claim universal credit ,whilst awaiting my appeal , the person dealing with it advised me put a new claim in for pip, i dont no what to do ,hope you can advise

I wouldnt advise starting a new claim for PIP. To constantly re-apply using the same evidence you previously used is not the answer because they'll most likely refuse you again. Also if you did start a new claim any decision made on that will overrule the Tribunal decision. My advice is to continue with this Tribunal.They like advising people to re-apply in the hope that they won't take it to Tribunal... that and constantly being refused, great advise by DWPI 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.
