Jon it's an awful process to have to follow I'm still sending evidence now to make sure they can't hide anything. As we all know it's not about diagnosis but they say you haven't provided evidence like medical notes? It's very contradictory just like the assessment paperwork.
Don't give up the fight 💪 

Agree but in theory if you give permission for them to veiw your medical history like I did then no need to send anything 

They very rarely contact anyone for any evidence. The onus is on you to prove you qualify, not theirs. This also applies to Tribunal stage, which you're at right now. As I advised in a previous thread of yours, you do not need to send anything you've already sent because DWP will send everything to the Tribunal.

Agree but in theory if you give permission for them to veiw your medical history like I did then no need to send anything  they prob won't as they know u are being honest and if they do cherry pick the things that go in their favour, it's all a legal game, judges although human have good instincts it's not just evidence they go off its the inconsistency of a individual, deffinally not be a pleasure to stand in front of a tribuneral, however it's rare for the dwp to do that I wonder why,? 

If you have any evidence you should send it to the dwp because they won't award you without evidence 

Jon is at Tribunal stage so any additional evidence should be sent to HMCTS, not DWP. You don't need medical evidence to be successfully awarded PIP. Many people claim it without providing any medical evidence. 

You are correct I should have said send to the tribunal.
I wasn't saying you need to send medical evidence to pip I was just saying you need to give the evidence that you have got which could be your application form.
It doesn't need to be medical evidence I agree 

That's we're I am confused the dwp said they would not accept a statement from my partner to state I need encouraged to eat only medical evidence but the tribuneral would accept a statement highly confusing

Poppy is the expert and I'm just giving my opinion so please don't rely on what I say.
In my opinion now you are going to the tribunal you will find that the tribunal will give you the chance to have your say .
I don't think it's right that the dwp say they won't accept a statement from your partner but the tribunal will allow you to say what you want and give your evidence whatever you choose

Thank you for such kind words, although I'm no expert.   You are correct that the Tribunal will give them the chance to speak for their self during the hearing. 

Jon7777777 who told you that they won't accept a letter from your partner?

karen19862

Jon7777777 who told you that they won't accept a letter from your partner?

The dwp would not accept a letter from my partner in regards to my eating disorder, they stated it had to be medical evidence, but I already thought I had given that evidence on my medical history

Evidence doesn't need to be medical.

I applied for tribunal on 16th Feb 2024, I had a call yesterday from DWP and a chap spoke to me about a few things, he then awarded me 6 points taking me to enhanced living and mobility

I'm shocked to hear some people have been waiting for nearly a year and it only took mine 6ish weeks

That's great news. The reason why it didn't take long for you was because DWP offered you extra points before the hearing.

They usually review a claim before responding to HMCTS and sometimes (though rarely) they may offer the claimant an award, or increase their existing award. If no offer is made then the claimant will need to wait for a hearing date and yes, this can often take up to a year from requesting the Tribunal.
