It will depend on how exactly your conditions affect you. Everyone's case is different and there's no set questions they ask. For this reason it will be impossible to tell you what they will ask.

There's some very useful information here that may help you. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/appeals/your-hearing/

Hiya,

As poppy said it depends on your individual health problems and it would be impossible to say what they will ask. I'm waiting for my tribunal and have kept all medical evidence and every letter from dwp and the courts together in a folder so I can read through it once I have my date. Write notes you might want to ask or mention and if you don't understand something then ask them to explain orrepeatthe question. Don't feel rushed into answering just take your time and remember that they aren't part of the dwp, they are independent. Good luck and let us know how you get on x

Hey @jiggerjoe, I was literally about to show you the link Poppy already has. Citizen's Advice has a great section on PIP tribunals, what to do and say and more. Highly recommend anyone going through a tribunal reads it. 

Good luck with your tribunal, do let us know how you get on!

At mine they only asked out my driving. I found out a few days later I won the appeal
