Hi, I have just put in an appeal to HMCTS as for 12 years I was awarded high rate with DLA and now with pip its been reduced to the standard rate and I will loose my car, CAB have told me that if I carry on with the appeal I could loose all of it which includes standard rate for living, which I've never had before,To me this seems like a threat from the DWP that if I challenge their decision they might take the lot off me ,it seems as if they make the rules up to suit themselves,  never mind how many lives they distroy in the process, has anyone got any info on this. beves.

    Hi Beves
    The tribunal service is completely independent from the DWP,they will look at the evidence in front of them,both yours and the assessors report.You will be asked a number of questions regarding your claim and be given an opportunity to put your case to them.
    They will make their decision on the information presented that day.
    The tribunal alone will decide on a ruling and if they feel your case is not strong enough they can lower your award.
    Remember to send all your evidence even if it seems insignificant.Make sure you have someone with you for support and keep a diary beforehand noting down all difficulties you have.
    Good luck.Debsidoo.
