They make up reasons not to give you anything. I have it from some of the professionals that if you say you need a material aide, say a stair lift they kind of can't deny that, but if the need is 'invisible' it's practically impossible to get.
This is what happens when govt contracts private companies to do the work. We pay them mega bucks to give people nothing. Appeal, though. Apparently, 2/3rds are successful. They are putting people with genuine need through the torture mill for nothing...but putting public money in the company's coffers that they could have spent supporting people who needed it in the first place.
I actually stated on my PIP application that I use a hearing aide in my right ear and they denied it, twice. Was only on the tribunal it was granted.
