Tribunal for my pip decision has been booked

I have really bad Crohn’s disease suffered for years had operations after operation s and I’m now not even able to do anything for my self due to my illness I go toilet all the time I can’t hold my self I have to wear continent pads I have accidents all the time so I don’t like to leave the house I don’t go anywhere with out my parents even my children have to help me if my parents are not with me so applied for pip over a year ago and the lady came asked me a few question in front of my mum I got low mobility and low disability but I was only given either 2 points or nothing for everything I have hospital evidence doctors letters I can’t even lift anything due to my joints being so bad she lied about our meeting saying she asked me to do things and I could do them and that wasn’t the case . She asked me to do 3 things I tried and eventually she asked to to sit down I apologised to her cause I couldn’t do it she said don’t be silly it’s more than my jobs worth to let u carry on so I got two points for my toilet needs even though I go at least ten times a day I can’t hold my self I have accidents and my mum has to clean me when this happens as I cannot do this so cut a very long story short I know have a hearing booked after a year just over and I’m unsure what to expect can anyone help thank u x

My son needs a fair amount of help. He has spina bifida and is cathed. In layman terms he does currently require a trusted sensible adult with him. I used the extra boxes to tell them of this. I also mentioned the fact he is on medication for his bladder issues.
I wrote the name on the form. I also made sure to inform them he needed catheters and it takes some time. We are working on self cathing.
