Hi, I'm dodougai19! My PIP claim was unsuccessful, can anyone help?

Hi @dodougai19 - welcome to the community, & thank you for joining. I'm sorry that your PIP claim wasn't successful, & that you have bad health problems. As Jane says, you should see the details about a Mandatory Reconsideration towards the end of the decision letter you received. A Mandatory Reconsideration is just asking another decision maker to look at your claim again. You need to ideally return this within one month from the date of your decision letter (you can do it within 13 months, but need to give a reason for your late response). You can fill this form in online, then print it off: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/683380/if-you-disagree-with-a-decision-made-by-dwp.PDF     & there are some notes on completing this form here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/683381/how-to-disagree-with-a-decision-made-by-dwp.PDF     Alternatively you can just write a letter putting your name & National Insurance number on each page.

Try & give a couple of real life examples as to how you were at the time of your assessment for each activity/descriptor that applies; describe what happened when you attempted or did an activity. Did anyone see the problems you had, why did it happen, what exactly happened, & how did it leave you feeling afterwards?If you haven't seen a list of these activities or descriptors, you can find them here: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/Personal-Independence-Payment-Descriptors-and-Scores-April-2021.pdf    Please also read the notes at the end.

Please come back with any questions.
