appeal

Hello.....Iv been awarded standard care and standard mobility this is what I'm challenging .Iv always received high rate dla..I had a reconsideration even with glaring inaccuracies on report eg: assessor put conditions on report that I don't even suffer from and this has overlooked and im having to appeal Iv have now received the paper response from tribunal which has the DWP response ...I'm wore out I seem to be being penalised for not being on the medication that my conditions should need because I'm intolerant to majority so my go and pain clinic have said I can't try anymore also I have run out of up to date evidence Iv said how long am I supposed to bother consultants when nothing can be done for me..,?
Anyone else have this problem ....I know I have a payment but the standard mobility no where near covers my issues , my report is so assuming and so inaccurate ...will tribunal see this?

Hi Chevvy and welcome to the forum. This link should help you find your way around the site.

Welcome to Benefits and Work

The bad news is that PIP was deliberately designed to save money. This means that some people who were, quite properly, awarded certain levels of DLA will find that they, also quite properly, do not qualify for PIP, or qualify for a lower award

The good news is that the Tribunal Service is an independent body, in no way connected to DWP, and they will look at your claim from scratch

If you did not use our PIP guide when you filled in the PIP form, I suggest that you have a good read now as it will help you phrase your appeal submission in terms that match the PIP descriptors. Rather like ESA, PIP will only be awarded if you score a certain amount of points on specific descriptors. This can catch out people who have been on DLA and were used to documenting what help they need. The guide also has a section at the back dealing with the appeal process.
