Pip letter from Doctor

Hi
Just want some advice my doctor has written a letter outlining my condition back pain from advanced degenerative disc disease with impingement on nerve.
Depression anxiety for my face to face assessment next week.
I had an assessment last year and didn't get enough points for pip
Because the tribunal time in Bradford has a long waiting time I filled in another How your disability effects you, due to my health deterioration I have a support worker coming with me for support any advice as I felt the one I had last year was dreadful

Yes I'm under the MSK clinic and see a consultant at the hospital for pain injections I have copies of appointments and Mri scans that have already been sent in with my form
For this re-application you are going to have to show that not only is the impact what it is now but that it was the same last time round.
I had to do this a few years back as the DWP decided that nothing had changed so the previous decision was right and so was the current one. I actually proved with evidence in 2011 that not only were they wrong now but were also wrong as far back as in 2004. The DWP eventually conceded that I was right and that my benefit should never have stopped in 2004. Logic dictated that those 'missing' 7 years (2004 - 2011) should now be paid. The DWP refused citing the fact that I never appealed against the wrong 2004 decision and as such they had no authority to pay for those missing years.
Yes I have looked at each descriptor that effects me and can answer how my disability effects me daily.
I was asked to fill another how my disability effects me due to my health worsening
From DWP. I contacted them in October 2018 as I was in hospital for 10 days and they said they couldn't add the new information on due to it awaiting Tribunal
The Tribunal court wrote to me stating if I was unsuccessful the next time the tribunal will go back to the date 2017 when I was awarded 6 points
