Appealing PIP decision

ELM
over 5 years ago

My son (16) has ASD and ADHD.  We found out today that he has scored zero on every element of the PIP application which means no PIP and DLA stopping.  

They appear to have not listened to a word we said at the face-to-face meeting or to anything written on the application form.  

I intend to ask ask them to ‘review the decision’ but was wondering if anyone out there had had a similar experience and whether they had any luck with the review.

Thanks

    I've applied for PIP twice (initial application and renewal). I was awarded the benefit both times without the need for an appeal. I backed up most of the points I made with independent evidence, which I believe is what made all of the difference as it proved without doubt that what I was saying was true. Is there any extra evidence you could add, such as a letter from one of your sons' teachers, highlighted copies of his GP notes, copies of any support plans from school/college? Good luck
