HI all just asking if you think that after now going on for 18 months to get to my Tribunal on Friday do you think it is ok for me to ask them about my mental health assessment as done by the ATOS pip assessor as fit for the job after this it at my assessment or do I see if the tribunal ask me about it as I do not wish to get on there bad side for asking about it as after 18 months of this as in the report it had i had know Mental Health Problems as i know how to read a road signs as is assessment did not look at the info from my doctor that i was in counselling for my Severe Depression and Anxiety and that the Psychiatric medication i'm on is at the top dose that you can take so who is right the Assessor at my assessment or my Doctor and the Mental Health councillor or do you go with the Assessors can read a road sign Assessment on Mental Health and then send in a letter for the pip mandatory reconsideration and point this out and then for the one doing the mandatory reconsideration and them still going with the assessor and is road signs test for mental health or are the gov going to go with a new way to do mental health problems and the next time you have to go to counselling for a mental health problem and get a Atos a assessor assessment test of can read a road sign test so know problems to save money. So do I ask them about it or see if they ask me about it thank you. ????????????

Hi Antonia_Scope not in the best place with all the things playing on my mind with the Tribunal on Friday after a 18 months to get to this place and did not need to get to this point if Atos had done what i asked for in the first place to have my assessment recorded and them saying yes then on the assessment day that there recording thing was not working and that where i have to go to the tribunal which costs god knows how much to have this all for the cost of a recording and this is just one thing that was wrong with the assessment report then there is this on and how is this not picked out at the mandatory reconsideration and them still going with the assessor report in one part it has in the history of conditions Diabetic and uses medication for this condition and sees is GP and also has reviews with the diabetic nurse every 3 months and all so goes to have is the podiatrist to have is feet test and to have is diabetic retinopathy test and then at the end in the same box put this no symptoms of a diabetic condition so know not feeling to good as do i ask the tribunal about these things or do i see if the tribunal ask me about this and the rest of the things that are wrong with this report so its playing more on my mind this week thinking about the tribunal and which ever way it goes this week as i can not take much more of this with the dwp and atos and them having no comeback on them but pull my life apart and make it hell how is this right in this time just to save money but no problem paying atos to do there assessments and get no comeback about the amount that go to a tribunal to have there assessment overturned.0

Hello Gerald, you have to remember that the tribunal hearing is about how your illnesses, diagnosis or disability fits in with the PIP descriptors at the time of your initial assessment, asking questions or making comments about the assessment on how you where, or the assessor comments will be of no or little interest to the panel, good luck and keep us updated.

Hi,The Tribunal won't be interested in anything that may have or didn't happen in the assessment and they won't appreciate you asking about that. All they will be interested in is the descriptors that apply to you and your reasons why.You may not have a decision on the day, if this does happen it's nothing to worry about but they will send a letter to you with the decision within a couple of days.Good luck.1

Peritonitis is an infection of the inner lining of the tummy. Left untreated, it can become life threatening.
Causes of peritonitis
The lining of the tummy (peritoneum) covers internal organs like the kidneys, liver and bowel.
If the lining becomes infected, the internal organs it covers can also be damaged.

The Tribunal is not an assessment and nothing like it. Going to the Tribunal and talking about the lies that were told in your report is the worst thing you can do. They will only want to know how you're affected by your conditions and that's it. Have you sent evidence to support your claim?

Hi poppy123456 yes the tribunal and they have all the evidence sent to support your claim at the start for pip that the assessor had and more evidence that was sent to the mandatory reconsideration and more to the tribunal to support my claim so I do not know if they will need more evidence.0

prior to your hearing, the panel will have read all the evidence used by the DWP to decide your claim. This includes the assessment report and any evidence submitted by you.They will also have read your submission to the tribunal which should lay out your case for why you should receive an award. They will have noticed any inconsistancies in the HCP report and where this differs to your account and evidence.They will then ask questions to determine the facts, which is why the majority of appeals are successful when the claimant attends to answer any queries0
