    Hi @g7iqj, I am really sorry to hear this! I imagine you are very frustrated!

    You may be able to apply for an upper tribunal, here is some information about that. 

    You will need to request a copy of the statement of reasons. If there is anything else we can do, then please do let us know!

    Hello, this is prove that we, you, and I must have and submit up to date diagnosis, treatment or physio reports to support our PIP application. Those of us due a renewal or a review should be thinking about getting collecting and updating our records regarding information needed or required for an assessment.

    HI,

    I'm sorry to hear this. I would urge you to get some face to face advice because to constantly re-apply using the same evidence and presenting you case in the same way will very likely see you being constantly refused.

    May i ask if there's any reasons why you haven't mentioned the daily living part? PIP has 2 parts and you can't just apply for one part. Have you looked at all the PIP descriptors to see where you could score points in the daily living part?

    Having some understanding of the PIP descriptors and what they mean will definitely help you. Have a read of this link and it will help you https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/personal-independence-payment-assessment-guide-for-assessment-providers/pip-assessment-guide-part-2-the-assessment-criteria

    Basaically  yes because  the judge said to me  no doubt  i have @ backcomplait , however my eveidence  being 20 yrs old , was not current , therefore did not back up my current claim  @ time off applying for PIP , 6 MOUTHS B4 .   OPTION is to get current  orphopedic surgeons report    despite my report 2000  saying my conditoon  is for life @ is degenrative .

    You absolutely do not have to start all over again and as has already been stated there are credibility issues if you do so. Your next step is to request the record of proceedings and a statement of reasons and then get face to face on whether an error of law can be identified to allow you to get this to upper tribunal. It’s usually not hard but will need face to face advice. Most tribunal decisions contain an error of law. It’s almost impossible to do otherwise. In the meantime, to dot the i’s and cross the t’s go and get yourself a new report.

    It’s hard to say having not being in the room but my experience tells me that what the tribunal were saying was less about the report you presented and more about the lack of up to date anecdotal evidence to support it. They’re saying that they can’t reconcile your description of your mobility now with the old report you presented. The problem is less the old report and more the extent to which things have degenerated and whether that’s credible in light of one medical report apparently being your only medical evidence.



     hELLO MIKE   you correct  what judge said , was not problem i got  disabilty . However   ALTHOUGH  the report says life time condition / degenrative . NO  current  evedeince  ie circa 2018/2019   to confirm what i was claiming / to back report up .  so she upheld DWP DESTION.     basically  back to my gp   get refural  to orthopedic surgeon ,  poss more  xrays /  mrsi   get report to my condition as off now 2019 is current on going  upto date effects  its not i cant walk stand but i have walking radius up to 20 meteres  range  stop rest back do max another 20 meteres  also standing  in ques in shops  limited to 2-5 minuites b4 i have sit down . . i would say  i degenrated to this stage last 2, 3 years .   iam still waiting  for full court report they only gave me 1 piece paper on day  say my appeal unsussessfull .   what every happens i will be applying again.
