Hi Scope, I need some help and advice regarding PIP. I have been refused ny claim with zero points. I have since proceeded with a Mandatory Reconsideration and again, I have been refused with zero points. I have a number of  medical conditions and i am suffering severely. I have the back up of my Drs surgery. My specialist at the hospital  as well as My Support worker and I dont understand why I have not been accepted. I also asked the Citizens Advice to have a look at my claim before sending it in and they said that i do not need th ere help as they couldn't of completed the application form  any better. Do i just give up? as if im honest the stress and upset is adding to my depression.  Thank you for taking the time to read this.  Ilona Halpern

    Hi
    PIP is not awarded based on any diagnosis. It’s how those conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activities based on the PIP descriptors.

    Drs/consultants etc will have very little knowledge of the criteria. They also don’t spend any time with you know how your conditions affect you against the PIP descriptors.

    We can’t tell you whether you qualify because no one here knows exactly how your conditions affect you. 

    Your next step is Tribunal but before doing that you should get some expert advice from welfare rights and any other agency near you. For this start here https://advicelocal.uk/

    Thank you I will look into these agencies.  I am aware that it works on how u cope with every day tasks but even though i have given them alot of examples how my disability effects me, I still have not been awarded any points.
