Not satisfied with Tribunal Decision

in PIP, DLA, and AA
I've been to tribunal and gotten my decision letter, awarding me 9 points in daily living and none in mobility. I went in asking for what would amount to 12 for daily living and 18 for mobility, and I'm not completely happy with the decision I've been given. I don't think I was able to explain myself at all well enough, and that some of what I said was ignored of discounted as being more minor than it really is.

Is there any further I can go with this?

    First you need to request the Statement of Reasons (SOR) and Record of Proceedings (ROP) and you have 1 month from the date of decision to do this. 
    You can’t go any further just because you’re unhappy with the decision. Once you receive both of the above you’ll need to find someone to have a look to see if they can find an error in law. 
    Just to point out that for a Tribunal once you score 12 points they stop, even if you could score more points. There’s no point going any further if you have already scored enough for an Enhanced award. 
    It also helps to have some understanding of the PIP descriptors and what they mean. Have you ever got any expert advice to check that you qualify for Enhanced for both parts? If not then start here. https://advicelocal.uk/ this will also be useful when you receive the SOR and ROP. 
    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.
