Shambles321

Hi All

I wanted to share that I have been successful with my appeal.

I had my hearing by telephone on Wednesday and have been awarded standard living and enhanced mobility.

Thank you to everyone for all your help and advice 

I couldn’t have done this without the group! 

For everyone that is waiting for your appeal, I would just like to say don’t give up. 

Happy to share the questions asked etc if anybody wants to know 

Thank you all once again x

Thanks @Shambles321

unfortunately I deleted them email a while ago by mistake so I am unable to check

I’ll have to wait for the dreaded letter 😀

when you receive your decision letter would you mind letting me know, just so I know how long it takes ?

well done again 👍

@Shambles321 congratulations on your win! I was just wondering if you could give me an idea of what questions they ask? I’m due to have my tribunal but still awaiting a date. I applied last May and have been waiting since October for my tribunal date so would love to know if you don’t mind me asking when you applied roughly for pip originally please 😊

@Em1
I applied for Pip in March 2022 and appealed in Sept 2022 
My tribunal was on the 19th of April - luckily I didn’t have to wait too long 
In regards to the questions, they went over the points is I raised in my Appeal and MR.
They asked about my job, what I do, how I used to travel to work before I started working from home etc.
They did surprise me by asking why I shop at Asda instead of my Morrisons and Sainsbury’s that are closer to my house.
They asked if I take my kids to the park which is close to my house- so looks like they look into your local area etc beforehand 
They were very friendly and calm and asked if I needed to take a couple of minutes break before answering questions etc 
To be honest it wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be 
Good luck with your tribunal and happy to any other questions you may have
