I am unable to find clarity on what tribunal ruled in your case but I think you ended up with no award.
If you currently have no PIP award then follow the instructions in the link here again with explaining difficulties you currently experience. https://www.gov.uk/pip/how-to-claim.

First tier tribunal ruled no award for PIP, the judge said "I don't believe you or your (GP and hospital) evidence, i believe the assessor (i said many things were made up by the assessor which could be proven as untrue)". I thought this might be a cause for review but apparently not. The panel doesn't have to give equal weight to my evidence.

So i don't have and never did have a PIP award and it was UC who told me to apply as i had an ongoing WCA (got LCW).

In both claims both medical reports were used interchangeably, i.e. DWP/judge were quoting from either report with the LCW hearing also referring to matters about PIP and the PIP hearing also referring to matters about LCW(RA).

Before doing this i'd advise you to get some expert advice from an agency near you. Starting a new claim using the same evidence you previously used could see another refusal. This link will tell you what advice agency is local to you. https://advicelocal.uk/welfare-benefits

Yes, this time i intend to through a benefit advice agency, if they will help, which in hindsight i should've done for both previously.

If you do start a new claim and want to post about it, please start a new thread?  It will be much better and easier to follow as a fresh start.

Yes, i would do this anyway as the current thread is about my PIP appeal. Thanks
