It was the positive Tribunal decisions posted on here that encouraged me. I think it's usually worth appealing despite the slight risk that claimants might lose their entire award. 65% of appeals succeed.
I think what swung it for me was:
- medical reports, though old ones
- that I've had rheumatoid arthritis for nearly 30 years
- before DLA/PIP changeover I was on DLA highest rates both components
indefinitely
- that I had already been awarded PIP 11points daily living and 10 points mobility
Were you on DLA before and did you ask for the medical reports from then to be included in your PIP application?
Because of the Election, there are no MPs at the moment, only candidates. After the Election you'll probably hear from your MP.
Good luck with your appeal! -
