PIP Submission for Appeal

Hi,

It's been a while since I last logged in here because I have been writing my PIP appeal submissions, however, despite the advice regarding the length of the submission mine is incredibly lengthy. This is due to the medical report written by the HP being totally ridiculous, as it is full of lies and inaccuracies. I have pulled the report apart literally sentence by sentence and I am now at the stage regarding challenging the summary justification section and to be honest I am totally exhausted by the whole situation and hit a brick wall.

Meaning I have commented on everything the HP has written could someone please advise me on how best to word the 'challenging the summary justification' section, without having to repeat myself again and end up with double the size of the document.

What annoys me also is the HP had the audacity to say that my award would remain the same (DLA high rate care and mobility) and due to the content of her report my award for PIP was low rate care only.

Thanks in advance,

Michala

Hi MIchala

If you go to the 'Members only' guides and then to PIP appeals, there's a heading
'Best possible ways to challenge a PIP medical report'.

If you read through this, it will give you all the answers you need. It should tell you if your approach to 'dissecting' the medical report is on the right track, and also probably lead you in the right direction in wording your challenge to the summary justification.

Sorry it's being so difficult for you, and good luck.

Thanks Shelam,

I have used that document and totally dissected the medical report but the thought of having to repeat myself for that part feels like a waste of energy. I appreciate that it is a very important part so obviously, that is what I'll have to do.
