I recently rang up about my pip appeal and they have told me id have the decision by the end of this month does that mean its already been dealt with they told me they couldn't give a exact date when its getting dealt with im so confused by this im sorry if this doesn't make sense because im unsure about it

Have you requested a paper based hearing or are you appearing in person/telephone or video hearing?

Were you meant to comment?

I’m not clear what stage of the appeal process you have reached. Are you waiting for an MR decision from DWP or waiting for a tribunal decision?

Previous thread suggests it’s Tribunal stage. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/99636/hi-im-juiejellybeanx-can-anyone-advise-how-the-pip-tribunal-works#latest

I learnt my lesson the hard way and now I will usually look at previous threads, where possible.

Im waiting on a paper tribunal sorry for late reply

Then a decision can be made at anytime and it's not the end of the month yet.

Are you aware that paper based hearings have a very low success rate of something like between 5-8%? It's always better to either appear in person or have a telephone/video hearing where possible.

I have sent all my evidence in i have asked for a phone call but no ones got back to me

Did you specifically ask to change your request from a paper based to a telephone hearing?
