Hello, I've joined to get some help and advice after a recent assessment where the small amount of Pip I received has been removed when I put in a request for further help. I am completely devastated

    Called a Mandatory Reconsideration need to put in writing why the reasons you need to appeal.

    Look at the descriptors anything you need to add, give further examples of .

    More evidence if it is available.

    I know if you have a mental health support or health worker or any one who is supporting you should be helping understand what you have to do.

    Please may I suggest further if you have a condition or illness or disability that may have a organisation or charity.

    Relevant happy to supply this.

    Please I would just try to remain positive.  Most appeals are successful and need to focus on that important.
