My Son Was Refused PIP

Hi and welcome,

PIP isn't awarded based on a diagnosis, it's how those conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activity based on the PIP descriptors.

May i ask if you requested the Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) and then Tribunal for any of those decisions? If you didn't was there any reasons why?

To constantly re-apply using the same evidence you previously used will very likely see constant refusals.

Did you send relevant evidence to support the claim? They very rarely contact anyone for this the onus is on you to make sure it's sent to support the claim.

May i ask when the decision was made on the most recent claim? If the decision was made within the past month then you'll need to request the MR in writing, stating where you think he should have scored those points and your reasons why. Then add a couple of real life examples of what happened the last time he attempted that activity for each descriptor that applies to him.

If the decision was longer than 1 month ago then with good reason you have 13 months to request the MR but you need to put the reason why you didn't request it within the first month.

Having some understanding of the descriptors and what they mean always helps. I'd advise you to have a read of this link, it's long but worth reading.

Hope this helps.
