I would like to share that my Tribunal today went well apart from feeling v emotional and utterly worn out
There were 3 men who asked numerous questions to me and a v good friend who had planned to speak on my behalf but they discouraged my friends help and valued my answers until the end
I decided against requesting additional help from a law centre simply because this may have caused me additional undue stress by attempting to achieve this alone
I knew I was going to prove my assessor wrong with the evidence supplied so part of me felt confident
Its been a long time waiting for today to relieve the stress of this being on my mind
I wanted to share with others that the wait is worth it despite the rocky journey to reach this destination
I would encourage you to keep fighting if you can and wish everyone the very best of luck

It was after MR
As I moved and DWP FAILED to update my change of address so I didn't receive info and then adjourned so it's been well over a year and had an impact on my well being bc of everything that's happened - unusual circumstances -
Well done!
-
Thank you to all of you for your kind words
Dont forget though that we may all face this repeated battle every 2 years for a review
...another pip claimant had their Pip Stopped after just 6 months apparently bc DWP decided their terminal illness supposedly got better which is unnerving
I've actually got high blood pressure this eve as I do not feel we can take any of this for granted

Great news, well done.
