PIP claim disallowed because I scored 0 points after phone assessment was created by Meconopsis
Apologies if this has already been posted and it's just that I can't find it but I'm having problems with the website. I rang the DWP on Friday to ask how to send in a letter from my GP and discovered that my PIP claim had been disallowed because I had scored zero points. I knew I hadn’t done very well after the phone assessment as my brain was really struggling and I had put on my form that someone would be there to help me and then I couldn’t get anyone to do that.
I was advised that I could do a mandatory reconsideration but that I could put in a 2nd claim at the same time. Has anyone done this and is it really necessary? Bearing in mind how stressfull the whole thing is and I don't think I can add anything more to the form or change anything other than I can send a more up to date letter from my GP. Has anyone got any advice?
Thanks.

Hi Meconopsis
The problem with making as they say a 2nd claim is that the PIP start date could be months in advance of the original start date of your current PIP claim. So there is the possibility of the loss of a large amount of money if you were to be successful in a Mandatory Reconsideration or Appeal.
Have a read of the BenefitsandWork guide on MR's and let us know what you think.
