In regard your PIP, your next option is to appeal but this will take many months and you will have no automatic entitlement unless the Decision is revised in your favour.
You can apply directly to your Local Authority, the rules that they operate under are the same as those for DLA. Providing you can show that you meet the criteria then there should be no reason why they should not process your request.
