PIP appeal possible from a badly done claim form? was created by GretaWS
Please advise me if you can help!
I am helping a friend who came to me asking for help with their PIP appeal. I didn't help them with their initial claim and from looking at a copy of their form I don't think they did a very good job of filling it in.
They missed out what I think are some of their key limitations and then went on to say different but also not entirely representative things at their Capita assessment.
Is it possible to rectify this now so they can be awarded the correct rates at the appeal? Can we send in a submission explaining the difficulties they experience which were not explained on the claim form?
Thanks so much for any help and advice!

Yes they can but they will need to also explain why these matters were not raised earlier, this may be as simple as them not understanding the form and the obtuse questioning by the assessor, but it is a matter that needs to be covered.
Their primary goal is to show that they meet the criteria for an award, only when this is done should they turn their attention to any discrepancies that there might be in the assessment report, where possible argue against the facts rather than the opinions of the assessor.
