Hi c , I have heard of people's points getting taken away ! Seems so unfair , the dwp just love to screw with our brains , and make it as difficult as possible to get what we deserve , seems to me like they are just being really nasty and awkward in your case , they should be wearing masks !

Hi @cooljoolz,
I'm sorry to hear about the problems that you're having with PIP.
@BenefitsTrainingCo, do you have any advice?

Hi @cooljoolz
So - without having full knowledge of your case and sight of the appeal papers, it's difficult to say that Tribunal is the place for you (as they can reduce awards as well as increase them, and may not agree with the DWP's 15 point assessment).
HOWEVER it is also NOT my policy to rely on the DWP to be consistent in their behaviour and decision-making...
My advice therefore, would be to secure those appeal rights and request that your appeal be reinstated asap. Explain why it's late (that you have been trying to resolve the issue with the DWP but are getting nowhere). You can always withdraw again if you manage to get the DWP to play ball.
What I would say, is that what you have in your submission is by no means standard procedure. If the DWP is minded to review the decision in your favour they should just do so, and your right of appeal then re-starts with the new decision.
Get the appeal re-instated and then, if possible, try and get some face to face advice so someone can have a look at the appeal bundle and give some advice on this.
Hope this helps!
