Hi Foz,

I'm sorry, but not surprised, that the MR did not go in your favour as it is rare that they do anything other than 'rubber stamp' the original decision

You have 1 month from the date on the MR letter in which to submit your appeal to the Tribunal Service. You need to do this by downloading and submitting a SSCS1 form

You do not need to give a lot of detail at this stage. When you receive the 'bundle' of paperwork from DWP you can see what they have said and provide your submission.

The process is explained in the PIP guide. The following resources should also be helpful, even though it mainly talks about ESA the process is the same

Appeal FAQs

If your PIP claim was refused completely I'm afraid you will not receive any payment until/unless the appeal finds in your favour. You can make a new claim straight away but the decision on this new claim would supersede the appeal decision. So, if the appeal awarded you PIP but the new claim was refused, your PIP would only be paid up to the date of the decision on the new claim.
