Mandatory decision refusal

hi everyone my name is Leanne and I was diagnosed 5 years ago with fibro, cfs and anxiety and depression, I hurt my back about 9 years ago so that’s also a daily struggle, I applied for pip back in fe this year to be refused and ask for a mandatory decision, I got a letter from my gp who confirmed my symptoms problems and medication it was a fantastic letter but it wasn’t even touched in the description that the descion outlined, everything I said in my one to one barely any of it has been discussed and when I received the letter today I experienced my first ever anxierty attack and no I have to face a tribunal for my next appeal step I’m worried it’s going to happen again, can anyone let me know what happens at this tribunal from their experience please

You will win at the tribunal
Disability Rights UK site has a good guide to PIP appeals. And their Disability Rights Handbook has a good section on appeal hearings. The Handbook does cost £18.50, from DR site, or might be available in your local reference library.
