Hi Mumcalledmarie

I'm sorry that you are going to have to go through an Appeal.

It's impossible to make any useful comments without at least knowing where you are trying to gain points and why the DWP didn't score you more highly in the first place. It isn't the conditions per se that make the difference - it's how the DWP think those conditions affect you as per the PIP criteria. So you can have two people who have been diagnosed with the same conditions but don't get awarded the same PIP. Some of it is down to luck, and some will be differences in severity of symptoms, medication and evidence. You don't have to post personal information - but just where you are hoping to get additional points.
