    Hi @donnaw, welcome to the community.

    Sorry to hear you and your daughter have been waiting so long, that sounds really tough.

    Have you been in touch with your MP at all? Sometimes they can help move things along or investigate what's happening, so it could be worth a try.

    Maybe some of our other members will have some ideas too. Hope you can get a date through soon.

    Hi Donna, is this for the tribunal after a mandatory reconsideration?

    Hi Steve yes it is I've been through this once before and got DLA but then my daughter turned 16 so it changed to PIP but now my daughter has more problems now and refused it again but they have given her the highest grade in mobility I just can't understand it 😔
