Nice to goid news for achsnge
I waiting for my appeal as well I’ve not been to it yet I am scared has I get very nervous in front of people but can you tell me what it was like for you and did you go in front of them for your appeal Thank you 😊
My appeal has just been lodged against that decision.
Given that the delays for a hearing are running at up to a year this puts my appeal hearing sometime possibly in January 2020, over 3 years after I completed the PIP2.
I have great difficulty (due to medical issues) remembering what I was like 1 month ago, how did you manage to remember what your difficulties were 12+ months earlier?
As for remembering what I was like over 3 years ago seems so impossible.
That puts me in the river without a paddle then.
There would be no point in guessing what I was like 3+ years ago nor worse still trying to remember how my life was impacted.
Methinks the best I can do under the circumstances would be to have the PIP2 to hand at the Tribunal and with every question put to me fumble through the claim form to see what I said at the time. Not very hopeful then.
Thanks
That is why I am employing a rep to look after my case.
If I will be expected to remember/look back/answer questions at what was the case 3 + years ago I don't think that I want to carry on with the appeal.
I'll have a word with my rep on Monday to find out what will be expected of me.
Yes my rep is self employed and used to head up the Welfare Rights Department of my council until it was closed down.
He tells me that he is busier now than he was when working for the Council!
Which in a way makes sense of the decision to close the department down - those that need his help pay for it instead of it being funded generally by those that would never use the service via council tax receipts.
