PIP

Hi everyone, could you please give me some advice. My daughter had her PIP stopped in August, she had a telephone interview abd the person from DWP decided that she no longer needed any help. I appealed against this decision as my daughter has Bi Polar Disorder and does not fair too well with people she doesnt know or cannot identify with. My point is they have now sent her a letter telling her that they will reinstate her original award which she received for an injury she sustained many years ago on her hand, theyhave not taken into account her mental illness, spina bifida, and generalised pain which her GP sent a detailed letter explaining how her mental illness and generalised pain effect her day to day life. I have already started an appeal at the tribunal before the letter from the GP was sent. if she accepts this offer and she gets new supporting evidence after can she make a new claim and would she be allowed to put forward the same detailed letter fro her GP? Sorry for long drawn out question but its very difficult trying to make this brief.

Hi Gary, would the fact that they have not taken into consideration her mental health and generalised pain be a good reason to continue with her tribunal appeal. My daughter was awarded PIP about 5 years ago for an accident she sustained on her hand, she got standard rate care, that is what they said they would reinstate, so they have totally ignored her GP's letter explaining how her conditions have impacted her day to day life. Thank you.
