My advice would be to get in touch with Citizens Advice a.s.a.p. and request an appointment with one of their Welfare Rights officers. I was in a similar situation to you back in 2019 (my first time applying for PIP) and also scored 0 points. After a Welfare Rights officer from CAB got involved and sent a letter on my behalf, my application was looked at again and I was then awarded PIP.
Thank you, thats really helpful. My wife is on hold to them now, I have said to her to ask for a welfare rights officer. I really need this
It really is, it felt like he had made up his mind before he wrote it
That doesn't surprise me. I think most people find they get refused when it's their first time applying because the system is intentionally set up to fail the claimants.
Yes it was
Out of curiosity, was this your first time applying for PIP?
