I had my PIP tribunal yesterday,(a year after my face to face interview). I was awarded enhanced rate for daily living and mobility for 10 years. The panel told the DWP and ATOS they were shocked at their initial assessment. They also said I was an inspiration in the way I deal with such severe disabilities. My allowance will now be backdated...One very happy person.
