PIP Denied-How to Appeal

Lucky wrote: I got the letter today and they denied it, as I'd expected. They didn't seem to accept my anxiety was real, they didn't actually even ask any questions about it, although 'engaging with people face to face' was one of the descriptors I was arguing for. My advocate did ask me a couple at the end, but I answered badly because my brain couldn't function by then.

Can I reapply for PIP if my condition is still the same or only if it's got worse?

Really sorry to hear this.

You have two options, you can ask for the Statement of Reasons from the Judge of your hearing, you cannot appeal because of the Decision that they made but if you can show that there was an Error of Law in it's making then you may be able to take it further.

Tribunals – Requesting a Statement of Reasons

What is an Error of Law?

It's worth doing this anyway to see where the panel thought you failed.

OR

You can make a new claim for PIP on Monday if you want, there is no waiting period and you do not need to have changed conditions.
