Turned down for PIP
10 years 3 months ago - 10 years 3 months ago #128428 by
Hi P,
Welcome to Benefits and Work
It is not clear from your post whether or not you used our : PIP Claims Guide. (2nd Link on page)
If you didn't, it may help if you read through it.
It may also help if you take our : PIP Self Test whilst being very strict on how you score yourself.
If you feel that you really should have received a PIP Award, you have little to lose, as it seems that you did not receive any PIP award at all.
You would first have to make a written request for a Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) within one month of the date of the PIP Decision letter that you have received.
There is guidance on PIP MR's/Appeals on : This Page.
See also : Mandatory Reconsiderations Explained
&
Disability Rights UK Factsheet - Appeals and Mandatory Reconsiderations.
It is important to give details of what you Can't do and why you can't do it for the "Majority" of the time, rather than what you can do.
You can Bookmark/Favourite this page in your browser.
You will then be able to return to your topic easily, where you can pose any further queries that you may have after reading through the guidance on the links that I have provided.

Any. Suggestions of next steps I was awarded 7 points
