Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
You say you have appealed and been turned down, do you mean that you requested a Mandatory Reconsideration and the Decision has not been changed?
I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by "legal rules" or rather there are too many things it could be, can you provide more detail?
Did you score any points?
Your Decision Letter should have explained why the DWP came to their Decision, what does it say?

Tribunal lasted 1 hour (very stressful). What I was told.... "Not good news. We have applied the legal rules and we can't award PIP". I didn't get any points, 1st Assessment, Reconsideration or Appeal. Have written to DWP asking for written reasons. Still waiting 4 weeks on. The whole thing is a joke - if only it were funny.
I assume they mean that they did not think you met the legal criteria to score points.
You assay you have written to the DWP. If this was a Tribunal then you need to write to the Tribunal Service in regard a Statement of Reasons. This needs to be done within a month of the hearing so if you have not done this then you need to do so immediately, you might want to mention that you thought it was the DWP you needed to contact in case the request is late.
