i have this since 2010 i had disabillity payments then pip came in and i have been refused i appealed and went to court and the judge said although he can see i got worse i should apply again
i have all consultants letters and i am finding it hard to grasp that i have been refused .
i take pain killers constantly and i am in pain all day every day and alot of the time being unable to do anything
does anyone out there have any problems dealing with pip with this condition

Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear that your appeal was unsuccessful.
You can appeal this Tribunal Decision but only because there has been an Error of Law? , the first stage to your doing so if for you to request a Tribunals – Statement of Reasons .
From your post, it would seem that the Judge is saying that a new claim for PIP might be more successful, have your conditions deteriorated at all since you originally applied for PIP?

I'm afraid you cannot challenge the Tribunal's Decision because you do not agree with it.
Also, the Tribunal was only able to look at you conditions as there were at the time of the Decision that you appealed, any change in your condition since then would have been legally excluded from their deliberations.

See my last post.
PIP has very specific criteria which a claimant needs to meet for an award, have a look at the PIP Claim guide for details of these.
