Don't give up on claiming PIP!

Hi just wanted people to know not to give up on claiming pip.i first got high rate care and low rate mobility and after going to Atos for my review i went from 26 points altogether to just 2 so i lost it all.
I applied for a tribuneral hearing and after a whole year i have eventually won my case and have been awarded enhanced rate on both.
The tribuneral was a little daunting and i ended up having a break down whilst being interviewed but it was worth it in the end.
I suffer from fibro mialga and depression with ptsd and its been a year of hell.
Keep fighting for what you deserve and dont give up no matter how hard it is.

When i went for review at Atos the lady who interviewed me put down so much that it didnt even seem that they were talking about me.She said i went alone which i didnt .
She said i could raise my arms but i had frozen shoulder so it was inpossible.
Keep fighting the fight and if your genuine and honest at the tribuneral you will get what you are entitled to .Hope this helps.
If there were more advice agencies to take the load off you and represent your rights then there would be more successful claims/decisions.
So glad for your 'win'.
The only sad part is that it took a whole year to get to this stage.
How long was the award for originally?
@Yadnad agreed here. Some people are left to try and do it all themselves.
I think some are paying to be represented at the cost of £300.
Some cab people do not understand the system either. I recall being on dla and they had no understanding of some premium I was on- could I get rid of it as it causing my problems!!
