What actually counts as an aid?

Replied by chrisw on topic What actually counts as an aid? Pip appeal
Received the decision in the post this morning.
It is a fail.I got 4 points for mobility.Originally I had 0
Although I already felt I failed it's still hard to see on paper.
I am still feeling the anxiety from the appeal day.But I know now and must try to move on.
My biggest worry is that my ESA will be affected.I am awaiting a response after sending in the form.I am currently in the Support Group.
Thank you all so much for all the support and information available.I feel it helped me make the best case I could

I'm sorry to hear that your Appeal was unsuccessful, we have not heard of a single case, on this forum and others, where an unsuccessful claim for PIP has had an impact on an ESA claim, to be honest, if the DWP were going to do something it would have been after the original Decision and not your appeal. Don't worry about it.
You can make a new claim for PIP immediately, there is no waiting period although you will need to give some thought as to how you will address the issues that caused this failure.
