Advice on PIP appeal please

jec

If you have opted for a paper hearing then you have one month from the date of the letter that came with the DWP's submission to submit any evidence and testimony for your appeal.

Your primary goal is to explain how you meet the criteria for an award, go back through your claim form, the assessment report and our PIP Claim guide to understand why you have failed to score.

Don't be tempted to re-interpret the Descriptors, this will not work.

Remember you have to complete the activities reliably and on the majority of days.

As a second exercise, go through the report, try and stick to dealing with the facts of the assessment and referring to your evidence to show that it is incorrect rather than just stating that it is wrong.

If you decide to reference the assessor's opinions then try and undermine them rather than tackling them head-on.

There are guides in the PIP area that cover appealing and dealing with the report.
