appeal or writer back with new information ?

I was awarded standard on both after getting nothing after i rang them up telling them the pip assessment was completely inaccurate, however I want to appeal this as the information they used was old and from awhile back that they already had on records about my condition

since that i now have updated letters from my doctor and mental health team so should i send this to pip saying the information they used was outdated and i now have up to date information or go to an appeal ?

what I would like to know is what is the difference with an appeal and me writing back to pip with more information from my doctor showing them my condition is worse than what they wrote of in the letter they sent me?

thanks

yes gordon it was a mandatory reconsideration however they used old information to base their decision on and it states in the letter they sent if your condition changes to let them know

so i was going to say my condition has changed and forward them the new letters i have from my docs and mental health or will this make no difference ?

ok thanks

so you would advise i go with an appeal? also can i do paper based and send all the info without going as i have really bad anxiety

Hi Joe,

We cannot advise whether or not you should go to appeal - apart from anything else, we do not know enough about your situation (and nor should we on a public forum).

It is possible to request a hearing on paper but you should be aware that, statistically, this is much less likely to be successful than if you appear in person.

On the other hand, a paper hearing could work in your favour if you hope to score points on the grounds of being unable to leave your home or make social contact with people you don't know.
