Hello @kay14 sorry you've had some trouble posting today. What was it you were wanting help with?0
-
Pip has knocked me back twice I have loads of evidence from doctors and surgeons about osteoarthritis stage 4 in my knee and my mental health so I have gone to tribunal, just wanting to know the likelihood of it going in my favour0
-
Okay, thanks for explaining. I'm sorry to hear your PIP claim has been difficult. It's hard for us to say the likelihood without knowing a bit more @kay14 do you have a date for the tribunal yet?0
-
No they have while 23rd June to reply they just wrote a load of lies on assessment how can they do this0
-
That's frustrating to hear @kay14, I know you're certainly not alone here on the community. There are plenty of members who have had similar experiences and have also requested Tribunals.
It can be a long wait, but if you'd like support with anything in particular please let us know, and we'll do what we can0 -
thanks is there any help you can get while waiting I’ve asked universal credit but they have said no it’s so depressing being left in limbo x0
-
UC has replaced all other benefits so other than council tax reduction there’s no other benefits possible to claim.
Does your health condition limit your capability to work? If so have you reported a change of circumstances and reported the health condition? You will need to provide fit notes also.0 -
Yes I’ve done all this I have a assessment in two weeks I started the claim back in February it’s stage 4 osteoarthritis so can’t get much worse but because we earned to much money before all this they waint help it’s so frustrating x0

Hello @kay14
I'm so sorry you feel 'left in limbo' with all this. We are here is you need to talk or vent.
I would also encourage you to reach out to Scope's Helpline. To see if there is any other way we could help0 -
Is it worth ringing pip while your waiting to hear from tribunal?0

Ring them for what exactly?
0 -
To see if they have received all evidence and the status of the matter x0
-
They will already have the evidence you've sent. If you've sent more to HMCTS then they would have been sent a copy of that too. When DWP eventually respond they will send everything you've already sent to HMCTS, you will then receive everything in the "bundle" you will need to make sure you check through this to see if everything is there.There's nothing you can do until they respond. Before they do this they will review all the evidence you sent, sometimes they may make an offer of an award at this stage but it's rare so please don't expect this.Please also be aware that they don't always respond by the deadline they are given. If they don't then it will be extended. They will eventually respond.0

I have got back all the evidence bundles so they will have it I just wish they would hurry up I know it can take months but because of this my mental health is getting worse I don’t even leave the house only for doctors appointments the system is ridiculous especially for the reasons it’s for 😩 x0
-
Are you planning on either appearing in person or have a telephone/video hearing? Either of those will give you the best chance of a decision in your favour.Do be aware though, they will not take into consideration any worsening of condition.0
-
I have said I don’t want to go as I can barely walk bacause of my condition,which is all in the evidence I have sent , nothing is new a condition just making the depression worse while waiting x0
-
You can ask for a telephone/video hearing. You do not have to appear in person. There’s about a 70% success rate.I wouldn’t advise you to request a paper based hearing because these have an extremely low success rate at between 5-8%.0

Hello @kay14
I'm so sorry you have been having such a rough time with your mental health. Can I ask, are you getting support for it? You can always refer yourself through to NHS talking therapies if you feel they would help0 -
Yes I went to doctors other day I have had my meds put up and referred to mental health professional, I don’t think there bothered what it causes people to go through xx0
-
I'm glad you went to your GP. I hope you hear back from the referral soon!
You have all of us We care and are always here to support you.0
