    Hi @adamj - & welcome to the community from me also. Please don't be worried. The tribunal will consist of a judge, a Dr, & someone with an understanding about disabilities. They will listen to you, as all they want to find out is exactly how your disabilities affect your daily life &/or mobility. They are also completely separate from the DWP. The success rate with PIP tribunals is currently 68%, so wishing you well. Kindly let us all know how you get on, as Hannah says.
