I applied for PIP in September 2021 and got 0 points which I was not surprised at at all. I had a telephone assessment and some of the comments about why I received no points were ridiculous. This person said that I showed no sign of fatigue, pain, anxiety or distress. I was like erm how could she tell all this when she can't see me. 
So asked for mandatory reconsideration which also got told don't have enough points. Although I had gained 4 points. So I have appealed against that and will see where that goes.

    I hadn't realised how many places there are for help and advice. So I did it on my own when I should have gotten help, but I will take advice now and see what happens.
