Sorry to hear that @philipcarson, it must have been really disheartening to hear that. Good to hear that you're appealing. Scope's guidance on DWP appeals may help you to get started.

You also need at least 8 points for an award. Mandatory Reconsideration comes first then Tribunal if that fails and most MR's do.It's also worth remembering that PIP isn't awarded based on a diagnosis, it's how those conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activities based on the PIP descriptors.Contact welfare rights or a law centre near you for further help and advice.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Hi Philip, it's proper gut wrenching to hear that news.
You have the right attitude though.
I just wanted to wish you well and success in everything you do.

PIP is awarded for how your conditions affect your mobility and daily living not for the conditions themselves. Your disabilities have to fit relevant descriptors. Take a look at Disabilty Rights site PIP section.

https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/52938/should-i-tell-pip-about-my-worsening-health#latestPeople do work and claim PIP successfully! However, it can go against you if the work you do contradicts the reasons for your claim.It wasn't CAB they spoke to, it was welfare rights... read the thread again to make sure i wasn't reading it wrong.Regardless of that, PIP has nothing to do with not being able to work.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

Yes you are right - told you - I have senior moments - most confusing.
It worries me that the particular Welfare Rights agency is stating this to their clients.
