Hi and Welcome to Benefits and Work
It seems that your username is your real name. If you wish to change this, in order to maintain a degree of anonymity, you can do so easily by following the advice in this FAQ.
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
As the PIP decision was not in your favour, your only recourse at this stage is to request a 'Mandatory reconsideration' (MR).If this goes against you, you will be able to proceed to an appeal tribunal. I'm afraid that PIP will not be paid during this time.
Mandatory Reconsiderations
I suggest you have a good look at our PIP guide as this will give you an idea of where you should have scored points, you can then use this information for your MR.
PIP help for claimants
You could actually reapply for PIP, using our guide to give you the best chance of success. However, this would limit the result of any tribunal (so, if the tribunal found in your favour but the new claim did not, the tribunal result would only be effective until the date of the new decision). Of course, you could go through the appeal process again but many people prefer to wait and see how the initial claim pans out.
If/when you have any further questions, please reply to this message and we will do our best to help. You will find this easily in future if you make it a favourite/bookmark it on your web browser now
