Hi all,

I had a PIP Tribunal Hearing over the phone scheduled for yesterday but a couple hours before the meeting took place the hearing had to be postponed due to the judge dropping out for the day. Im crushed as I thought Id finally be relived of the anxiousness and stress of the whole pip system caused me and its having a bad affect on my chronic skin condition causing me to flare up due to the stress. 

I wanted to know if anyone has had experience with a postponed tribunal for this reason and want to ask about how long you had waited for another date and if I can request a urgent tribunal hearing over the phone due to the effects on my mental and physical health.

Thank you all
