Hi @nathankd - Welcome to this supportive community. I'm sorry you didn't get any points following your PIP assessment. Many others who have joined have also had problems with their assessments.You can appeal about this. The first step is a Mandatory Reconsideration, & on your decision letter there will be details as to how to do this, & you have one month from the date of your decision letter in which to do so.Unfortunately it's very difficult to say whether you might be successful, as no-one here knows exactly how your disability affects your daily life. Don't mention anything that you felt was wrong with your assessment, as that won't help. Concentrate upon how your disability affects you. Unfortunately the success rate of Mandatory Reconsiderations is small, & most people therefore then need to go to a tribunal. Unfortunately these may not take place for a further year, or more.It may be an idea to get some local advice as soon as you can.

@nathankd Hello and welcome to the community, I am sorry your claim wasn't successful as above we do hear of lots of similar cases.
I suggest you get some advice if you are wanting to put in a MR to give you the best chance of a positive outcome but be prepared it isn't often the decision is changed and then this means tribunal
Good luck and let us know how you get on

It's how those conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activity based on the PIP descriptors.Evidence will be needed to support your claim because they rarely contact anyone for this.If you've recently been refused PIP then you have 1 month from that date to request the Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) you should put this in writing stating where you think you should have scored those points and your reasons why. Then add a couple of real life examples of what happened the last time you attempted that activity for each descriptor that applies to you.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.

Yes but the conditions i have are the same with some of mine being higher on the spectrum so cant understand how it would be the case where he got acceptd and i never

It may have been that you didn't explain fully how your conditions affect you. PIP isn't awarded based on a diagnosis. MR is the first step, with Tribunal after that if the MR decision remains the same.I wouldn't advise you to start a new claim because doing this and using the same evidence you previously used could very likely see another refusal.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.
