hi, I have hemiplegic cerebral palsy I am due to attend my pip appeal tribunal on 23rd June, I was just hoping that I could get a bit of advice on how best to prepare and what the expect as I have no idea!

before I was moved on to pip I had a mobility car which was taken off of me in October 16

thanks

Hi Becky22

It's a little difficult to know where to start here as it is such a broad area and we don't know the details of your case. Straight away i would say get some help locally if you can, preferably from someone who has been to tribunals before. The Scope helpline should be able to help you find your local service. If that's not possible and you have to go on your own have a watch of this video which describes the process and what you can expect. It is about an Employment and Support Allowance appeal rather than a PIP appeal but that doesn't really matter because it's more about the process. There will be a third person on your panel and that will be someone with some direct experience of disability, so this is a good thing.

Good luck!
David
