Some kind soul at the DWP has notified me that the MR decision upholds the assessor's decision, not really surprised.
Lost my motability car now, but I don't really need it as I will be going into hospital again for another big operation to try and remove my cancer.
Deciding which route to take
The decision is flawed and there are so many holes in the assessor's argument as usual, the MR if it had been anything other than a tick box exercise should have decided in my favour, but it is what it is, so tribunal I guess.
My first objective in taking this to tribunal is to see if someone has contradicted my medical evidence or stabbed me in the back, usually when it goes to tribunal you get to see any evidence the assessor has collected. (I once went through Tribunal and found my then GP had contradicted her GP letter and filled in a report behind my back which was ambiguous and used by the assessor to undermine my case)
The other objective is to get heard about what a bad decision the DWP made.
There seem to be several routes for the tribunal, one is a fully paper route where you can do it online and you don't have to attend and the tribunal just review the evidence. I am just wondering whether I will get to see sight of any evidence the assessor has collected if anything?
I previously posted I have also had a change in circumstances, been diagnosed with bowel cancer and going to hospital for them to do a permanent stoma, I have been in an out of hospital over the last 3 months with kidney failure etc. and in the assessor's decision it says I am under the care of the GP with occassional visits to the hospital. So new information after the fact contradicts this.
Do I fill in a new PIP form for change of circumstances or proceed to tribunal and then if need be complete a change of circumstances?
What do you think?
