Pip Tribunal

Rosie2023

Good Morning

Hope everyone has had a good Christmas xx

I have my tribunal on Friday and I'm so anxious 😟. Do they go over all the questions on the pip form or just the questions where I think I should have scored extra points?

Thank you

Heya @Rosie2023 I hope you had an ace Xmas too. 😊

Please try not to panic too much about the tribunal, it's worlds apart from the initial assessments. It'll be you speaking to usually three other specialists, they'll ask questions just to get an idea about how you struggle from day to day. What they ask will depend on how the forms were filled in and why the MR was made, but it's all very calm and friendly.

Just take your time, remember to breathe (seriously, I kept holding my breath!) and just answer everything as best you can. 😊

Thank You

I've not looked at the pack they sent yet as I thought it would stress me more. Going to look at it in the next few days and highlight points I want to make/say. I'm so forgetful and struggle with forming words and sentences ( remnants of a stroke i had in April) .

Nearly 18 months of waiting . Thank you for your support

Oh I can empathise, I ended up writing a list of bullet points of important bits I needed to mention, else I'd have forgotten too. Will you let us know how you get on please?

Rosie2023

I will definitely let you know. It's helped me massively knowing other people's timescales etc

Hi Rosie, sorry to be absolutely no help, but just wanted to pop on and say I have mine in January and I'm panicking too! I've also been waiting nearly 18 months, and it's so stressful. Wish you all the best ☺️

You too! The whole thing is an absolute disgrace, hopefully we'll both be done with it and celebrating soon 🎉
