Hi, my name is etcher! PIP Tribunal

We want to hear from you: please tell us about your experience of the online community.

etcher

PIP..i applied for PIP last June 2022 which was refused, my telephone assessment gave nil points. Went through MR still the same. CAB have helped me go to tribunal which as normal is taking forever. 
I have opted for face to face tribunal but wonder if the Judge will see the documents before and is the Judge able to make a decision without me attending?
Just to add, had a stroke last march which sparked off a resurgence of ptsd which wont go away. 
Latest refusal centres on my ability to drive even though that is only ever with the wife and in an automatic due to ruined right arm. Cant cook, cant cut my own food etc etc

It’s rare for them to make a decision before the hearing takes place. Most hearings take place through telephone so you can change it to this. The success rate is the same as appearing in person. 

Please also be aware they won’t take into consideration any worsening of condition.
