refused Pip at 1st tier tribunal

My partner recently was refused Pip at 1st tier tribunal on 17th January.
He had DLA mobility higher rate before this, but as he scored zero points, he has now lost this.
The thing is, his assessment was full of lies and indicated measurements on his musko skeletol. These things were never done, but still he lost hs DLA which was devastating for him. We then read that no one would be any worse off moving from DLA to PIP.
Cant believe he lost everthing.

Hi Linda and welcome
as your husband has no award in payment you should re apply straight away as there is no waiting time
you might want to look at the B&W self test

The above was where I read DLA/PIP..
I didn't know about these things you have written about.
As for the Upper tribunal, I only found out about this after the 30 days were up as tier 1 tribunal was on 17th Jan.
I do realise we shouldn't believe everything we read in papers. -
Thankyou so much for your advice, it is very much appreciated.
I shall phone a welfare rights officer on Monday.
My partner has Chronic obstructive airways disease, copd, emphysemia, osteoporosis, osteo arthritis of the lumbar spine and hip, hypertension, and recently has schematic changes in brain.
Had evidence his condition is deteriorating, but none of ot was looked at.
Called DWP the other day for new pip claim, and was told to claim for attendance allowance instead. Had to explain twice that he wasn't 65 until July, so at this particular time he is 64........ -
Hi. Just to say thankyou for your advice. Unfortunately 1st tier tribunal judge refused the upper tribunal.
Good thing is I now know these things and have lodged a new claim for pip.
Many thanks for the information received. -
Good luck

Thankyou so much.

Linda61,
I'm sorry to hear that the first tier tribunal refused permission to appeal. That's actually quite common (as it is their decision!), so you might want to consider applying directly for permission to the upper tribunal. As Mike advises above, that's because you won't otherwise be able to get any money back on the original PIP claim.
It's good that you have made a new claim too though, as this means if you really can't take the challenge on the original claim any further, at least you have a chance to get the right decision this time.

Thankyou. Would my Welfare Rights Officer know how to do this, as I only received a letter with the decision. We have not received a statement of reasons(if thats the right words).
