hello im sorry for hassling any of you but my pip tribunal is very close now as the average wait for my area is 28 weeks. ive submitted anecdotal evidence as well as updated the appeal via the website on changes in medication or when i was awarded lcwra... but i got a letter through yesterday which i think is from the dwp saying that none of it matters and doesnt impact the decision from what was observed in the asscessment and this has made me really worried to the point of being sick so im hoping someone here can give me more clarity about this and if its anything to worry about? the letter also said something about the sectary of state not needing more papers or something

its been a struggle to get to this point and this letter just made everything feel even more hopeless :(

    The letter you received from DWP is nothing to worry about. They are just responding to the extra evidence you sent and telling you they haven't changed their decision. Your hearing will go ahead as normal.

    Are you either appearing in person or having a telephone/video hearing? Either of those will give you the best chance of a decision in your favour. Paper based hearings have an extremely low success rate.
