I am in receipt of Universal credit and pip. I was on the higher rate of JC,until it was charged to UC. I have had my work capability assessment back in February,and also mandatory reconsideration last month. Both denied. even though I have arthritis in both knees,ankles,and hands,and some sight problems. Trouble walking somedays,getting from A to B. So money taken away was needed.I want to appeal,though not sure of the next step. Lot of what said on medical report was not what I said,or twisted.

Hello.Well I lost the appeal back in May,but in between had put in the support group.That is going to be reassessed again in October because my Health and welfare course has come to an end after 15'months.
Meanwhile I have just come out of hospital after being in for 10'days with Pneumonia. My PIP was assessed back in June and mobility part was taken from me because I can plan a journey? Anyway because of the scare I had and am now struggling to get from a_b.. I have asked for it to be looked at again. Hoping I've done the right thing? Does anyone have any advice for me ? Thanks -
MR is the first step to appeal, if the decision doesn't change then you'll need to request the Tribunal within 1 month of the date of the decision. Good luck.

Hi @jackisin, I'm sorry to hear about your appeal. I understand how frustrating this must be!
If you are wanting to appeal again and take it to tribunal, you have a much higher chance of success. Here is some information about the tribunal process.
If there is anything else we can do to help then please do let us know.Scope
