Entitlement for pip and medical evidence

CockneyRebel

You need to send your submission in as soon as possible and usually within one month, any further evidence at least 7 days before the hearing.

Sorry for silly questions but is a submission like what I disagree with and so on.

CockneyRebel

Not a silly question
Yes, your submission is you making your case and showing that you do meet the descriptors

Please do get help with this if possible

CR

alisha22

Oh thank you, I will go to town and see if I can speak with someone from CAB or even ring them. I just feel the tribunal just want to catch you out but I just want to be myself and explain how I am on a day to day basis.

CockneyRebel

The tribunal are independant and want to understand how you are affected they are only interested in the truth.
The very nature of a tribunal means that it will be inquisitorial

Will i be ok to use same gp and physio letters I sent for MR, as support.and as you said before any new evidence I can send 7 days before the hearing. Also are they any sample templates  to help guide you in writing a submission.

CockneyRebel

Hi alisha

You do not need to send any of the letters or evidence that you have already submitted as copies will be in the bundle

CR

alisha22

Oh ok thanks for that information, so just a submission letter then.

CockneyRebel

I have sent you a message, hope it helps

CR

alisha22

CockneyRebel

Hi I'm in saltley area in Birmingham.

donna122

Hi can you be awarded enhanced daily living allowance but no mobility?

CockneyRebel

Hi donna

Yes you can receive either or both components of PIP

CR

donna122

Thank you 

alisha22

For pip tribunal can you send hospital appointment letters and results just before the hearing. And do we take the whole bundle with us too. 

alisha22

As for evidence my gp wrote a short note as did my physio, hopefully this will be enough. The assessor from capita had said my medication is not high enough dosage for them to consider. I was on 150mg sertraline antidepressant now I'm on 100mg amongst other tablets. I don't understand these assessor reports.

alisha22

Sorry guys, I might of asked this question before but was wondering once receiving the dwp bundle is there a time scale we have to send submission by like with the mandatory we have a month.

CockneyRebel

Yes you should send your submission within a month
Hospital appointment and results may help with the why but not the how. PIP is about how you are affected and not so much your condition
