I'm sorry to hear that your mother's appeal was unsuccessful.

I'm afraid her options are limited. She cannot appeal further on the basis that the Decision is incorrect, only on the because she believes that there has been an Error of Law and this process can take the best part of a year with no guarantee of success. See

What is an Error of Law?

Tribunals – Requesting a Statement of Reasons

As an alternative (or in parallel) she can make a new claim for PIP, but she need to give some thought to addressing the issues that prevented her scoring more points if she is to avoid this happening again.

If you have more questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
