What do I do if i'm refused?

If you are dissatisfied, you can ask for your claim to be looked at by someone else.
You must do this within 1 month of receiving the letter from the DWP. It might be helpful to submit further supporting evidence, and perhaps a diary showing how much attention and supervision you require over a sample week. You could send in some leaflets describing your illness.
