Terrible Pip appeal

Well after waiting 18months for my close friend to receive his pip appeal he was awarded nothing. 7points for daily living and 4 for mobility. As he is over 65 he cannot apply again for pip and therefore I have sent off for attendance allowance forms for him. As regards pip, I understand that the only way forward would be to show an error of law. Ive applied for a statement of reasons. My question is how successful is this course of action? Any help would be appreciated thanks

Just checking, but has your friend reached pension age yet? It appears to be that which counts for PIP, not your 65th birthday.

Assuming the person I spoke to today knows what they're talking about - which seems likely - it seems that I was wrong about the above. Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up

Thanks, Gordon. I double-checked on the Govt. website today, which confirms what you say. So the person who I thought ought to know obviously didn't.
