HI everyone,
'Law in Action', currently being broadcast on Radio 4 has a piece on PIP tribunals.
Very interesting - will be available on iplayer later.
PS It's a few minutes in, immediately after Julian Assange...

Thanks @cristobal, I missed this yesterday but will take a listen on catch up later. Did you find it interesting?

@Adrian_Scope It was interesting - I haven't had to go to tribunal so didn't know a lot about it'
Had interviews with some claimants, and also one of the judges...
Seems to be quite informal - one took place across a desk; one was in a magistrates court...
Judge said that in about 2/3 cases the original decision is overturned - but difficult to tell exactly whether this is due to the original decision being 'wrong' or the claimant submitting additional evidence.
