Hello me again !
I have my pip tribunal next Thursday, I'm having a telephone hearing , I'm absolutely dreading it!
The original decision I scored 6 points and 0 points for mobility .
MR decision stayed the same so I decided to go through the process of a tribunal hearing, I'm now having seconds thoughts, its literally taken over my life worrying about it.
I've already got it in my head I'm not going to get the 2 points I need, I'm prepared to hear this, my question is how long do I wait before I reapply for pip ??
Thank you

There's no timescales how long you need to wait to reapply. However, reapplying again using the same evidence you previously used is likely to see another refusal. Then the whole process starts all over again. For this reason it's never a good idea to constantly reapply.You've come this far and it would be a shame not to go through with it now. It's perfectly normal to feel this way before a hearing and many people find the process very daunting. The Tribunal are totally impartial to DWP and they are there to listen to you while you answer any questions they have.Do you have someone to be there with you on the day? They won't be able to answer any questions for you but they can be there for some support. You'll be able to put the phone onto loud speaker for them to hear it.0

I just feel that I've waited so long for this, I first applied January 2022 and so much has changed for me personally, how I am now, doesn't match what I had previously wrote on the original form, so I'm not sure how I'm going to answer questions based from last January when my conditions have worsened?
That's what's worrying me most0 -
They will not take into consideration any worsening of conditions. Even if you reapply because of a worsening of condition, this doesn't guarantee you an award. A worsening of condition doesn't automatically score you more points.

The level of help I now require is more than it was a year ago, I'm just not sure I can go through with it0

Only you can make that decision but it will be a shame to cancel it now after waiting this long. 73% of Tribunal hearings have a decision in their favour.Although you said you need more help now, this doesn't mean you could score more points by reapplying.0

You only had your hearing on 27th April and there's been 2 bank holidays since then. It can take up to about 8 weeks after a Tribunal win. They will contact you first to ask if you've been in hospital or prison. Once they've done that they will put your award into payment. Normally you receive payment before the decision letter.

Hi poppy
I did think about the bank holidays putting it all back abit, ok well hopefully I will hear soon
Thanks again for your information its always helpful 😊0 -
Hello
I had pip call me today which was quite unexpected as I was told last week it would be 3-5 weeks to hear from them due to a backlog she asked some questions then said the back payment will be calculated and processed today and letter should be with me in 5-7 days as its sent 2nd class , so does that mean my payment will be in the bank soon ?
Thanks x0 -
Once payment is made it will be 3-5 working days for it to go into your bank.
