Turned down at tribunal was created by andy read
Recently went to the tribunal for PIP. Got refused after an hour chatting to 3 judges. They acknoleged i had severe back issues and was diagnosed with PTSD but because i was able to engage with people and make food i wasnt entitled to anything. They also said because i hadnt recieved help from the likes of dissability wales this did not look good. I also stated ii had couda equina but this was dismissed.
What can i do next.

You have two options;

You can consider an appeal to the Upper Tier Tribunal. This cannot be done becuase you disagree with the Decision, only because you can show that there was an Error of Law in the making of the Decision. The first stage to this is to request a Statement of Reasons from the Judge.

What is an Error of Law?

Tribunals – Requesting a Statement of Reasons

The process can take the best part of a year and the most likely result is a new First Tier hearing.

AND/OR

If no award was made then you can make a new claim for PIP, there is no waiting period.

In either case you will need to consider how you address your previous failure to score or you risk the current situation being repeated.
