Why PIP Applications Are So Difficult
The PIP system isn't designed to be easy. Around 50% of initial applications are rejected, often not because people don't qualify, but because the process is genuinely complex and overwhelming.
๐ Complex Forms
The PIP2 form is over 40 pages asking detailed questions about how your condition affects 12 daily activities. Most people find it confusing and don't know how much detail to provide.
๐ฅ Medical Evidence
You need to gather letters from GPs, consultants, and specialists. Many people don't realize what evidence strengthens applications or how to obtain it from busy healthcare services.
๐ฌ Describing Your Struggles
The hardest part: explaining how your condition affects daily life. Many people minimize their difficulties or don't realize which details matter to assessors.
๐ฐ Assessment Anxiety
Face-to-face, telephone, or video assessments with healthcare professionals cause significant stress, especially for those with mental health conditions or communication difficulties.
โ High Rejection Rates
Initial rejection doesn't mean you don't qualify. Many successful claimants win on mandatory reconsideration or tribunal appeal, but navigating these processes alone is daunting.
โฐ Time Pressure
Strict deadlines for form submission (usually 4 weeks), mandatory reconsideration requests (1 month), and tribunal appeals (1 month). Missing deadlines means starting over.

Our professional support ensures your application is complete, compelling, and presents your situation accurately from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the PIP application process take?
+The entire PIP process typically takes 3-6 months from initial application to decision. This includes 4-6 weeks for DWP to send the PIP2 form after initial contact, 4-6 weeks for form completion and evidence gathering, 4-8 weeks for assessment scheduling, and 2-4 weeks for the decision letter. With our support, we ensure your application is complete and compelling from the start, reducing delays and improving success rates.
What if my PIP application is rejected?
+Don't give up. Around 50% of initial PIP applications are rejected, but many succeed on mandatory reconsideration or appeal. Our ยฃ1,200 service includes support with mandatory reconsideration if needed. We review the decision, identify weaknesses in the assessment, gather additional evidence, and submit a compelling reconsideration request. Many of our clients receive awards after reconsideration.
Do I need a formal diagnosis to claim PIP?
+No, you don't need a formal diagnosis to claim PIP. What matters is how your health condition or disability affects your daily life, not the diagnosis itself. PIP assessors focus on functional impact: Can you prepare meals? Manage medication? Communicate? Mobility? However, medical evidence from GPs, consultants, or specialists significantly strengthens your application.
Can someone claim PIP for mental health conditions?
+Yes, absolutely. PIP covers both physical and mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, autism, ADHD, and more. Many mental health PIP claims are initially rejected because applicants struggle to articulate how conditions affect daily activities. Our service helps you describe these impacts clearly and compellingly.
What evidence do I need for a PIP application?
+Strong evidence includes GP letters describing your condition and its impact, consultant reports and diagnosis letters, hospital admission records or treatment notes, prescription lists showing ongoing medication, care plans if you receive care support, statements from family members or carers describing daily challenges, and any workplace adjustments or sick leave records. We help you identify, organize, and present all relevant evidence effectively.
How much could I receive from PIP?
+PIP has two components: Daily Living (Standard ยฃ68.10/week, Enhanced ยฃ101.75/week) and Mobility (Standard ยฃ26.90/week, Enhanced ยฃ71.00/week). You can receive one or both components. Maximum weekly PIP is ยฃ172.75 (ยฃ8,983/year). Awards are typically for 1-10 years or indefinite for lifelong conditions. Even Standard rate Daily Living alone provides ยฃ3,541/year.
Do I have to attend a PIP assessment?
+Most PIP claimants must attend a face-to-face, telephone, or video assessment with a healthcare professional (not a DWP decision maker). They assess how your condition affects daily activities. Paper-based assessments (no interview required) happen in only 10-15% of cases, usually for severe, permanent conditions with extensive medical evidence. We prepare you thoroughly for assessments, including what questions to expect and how to communicate your daily challenges effectively.
What if I can't afford the ยฃ1,200 upfront?
+We offer flexible payment arrangements because financial constraints shouldn't prevent you accessing support. Options include paying in monthly installments during the 3-6 month process (e.g., ยฃ200-300/month), paying after successful claim approval, or discussing a reduced fee based on circumstances. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss payment options that work for your situation.
Can you help with PIP appeals to tribunal?
+Yes. Our service includes mandatory reconsideration support. If reconsideration fails, we can guide you through the tribunal appeal process: registering the appeal with HMCTS, gathering additional evidence, preparing your case statement, and advising on tribunal preparation. Tribunal success rates are much higher than initial applications (around 70%), especially with proper preparation and representation.
Do you offer home visits for PIP applications?
+We can arrange home visits for clients who cannot travel to our King's Cross office due to mobility or health conditions. Most initial consultations happen via phone or video call for convenience, followed by in-person meetings if beneficial. All communication is flexible: phone, email, video, or face-to-face based on your needs and comfort. Our extended hours (Mon-Fri 9am-6pm, weekends 10am-5pm) accommodate various schedules.
What other benefits can you help me claim?
+Beyond PIP, we assist with Employment Support Allowance (ESA) for those unable to work due to illness, Universal Credit health elements and limited capability for work, Attendance Allowance for over 65s needing care, Carer's Allowance if you care for someone, Council Tax reduction based on disability, and Blue Badge applications for parking concessions. Many clients qualify for multiple benefits simultaneously.
