Previous Claim

Hi Specialalone

If you haven't already done so - look at our guide on how to fill out the PIP form. You may have received zero points because of the way you explained things - not because they weren't relevant. I would include anything that has an impact on your daily living or your mobility.

Hi Specialone

Ignore what they tell you, the first thing you need to do after an assessment is to get a copy of the assessors report by contacting DWP the report is called a PA4.

Once you get the report go through it with a highlighter highlighting any inaccuracies and then apply for a Mandatory Reconsideration.

You usually have to ask for a MR within one month but you can do an out of time MR with good reason which could be that you were waiting for a copy of the assessors report.

Follow BIS advice in her post.

Hi Specialone


It's up to you, whether you want to try for an MR or put in a new claim because you have new issues. Be aware that they will know that you got turned down before, so you will have to address the issues raised in the PA4 or you could still find yourself in the same position.
