Hi K
Lots of people have successfully challenged PIP and ESA decisions.
You can read the letters we receive from members every week on this website.
The key is giving yourself the best chance by studying our guides, getting our help and putting forward the best possible case.
The percentage of successful appeals is lower for people representing themselves but the lack of legal aid funding means this is the only option for most of us. This website is here to give you the best chance.

Hi all,
So I had my appeal today and it was adjourned as there was no medical evidence. They will now gather my medical notes from my gp and call me back in around 4 weeks. I feel like I just can't continue, today has been awful. Has anyone else had this? Please help

It's not particularly common but we do see it on the forum. I'm afraid there is no way around it.

Thank you so much RH. I just don't know how much more I can take. It all seems so hopeless at the moment, I have no positives at all :(
