I received a letter from dwp where they gave me 0 points for both components. At that time i didn't put a report from gp and conditions went worse with my spine. I had a mri after the assessment and on clutches now so the things went worse been to citizens advice today and they said they will consider the things as they were on the farm first either with appeal or reconsideration i am really confused what shall I do either to go for reconsideration or wait for couple of months and then apply again .any help and advice will be very useful .
Thnx

Just to confirm, the CAB are correct, neither the DWP or an appeal panel will be able to take in to account any change in your conditions that occurred after your assessment and the Decision on your claim, they can only be considered in a new claim.

I am sorry that we missed your question yesterday.

It depends, if you are not claiming any benefits at the moment (as your PIP claim was refused) then it is entirely up to you whether you work or not.

If you challenge the PIP Decision or make a new claim then there is no specific reason why you need to inform the DWP that you are working, however, the DWP do have a habit of finding these things out so you need to ensure that any work that you do would not conflict with any limitations that result from your conditions. As a hopefully absurd example; if you have stated that you have problems planning a route then your school run may be seen as incompatible with this problem.

If you are claiming other benefits such as JSA or ESA then there maybe restrictions on your working, but as you haven't posted about any other benefits I will not go into detail at this time.
