PIP tribunal vs ESA tribunal. Difference?

Hi everyone. I won yesterday my ESA tribunal. I have depression and anxiety. I know pip look differently at questions then esa. Could anyone tell me the difference especially in mental health apeal. I want to prepare myself and make notes to give myself as much chance as possible. Thank you x

They look at completely different descriptors for PIP as the criteria is different to ESA. Have you read through them at all?

2 - the best simple summary of what you’re aiming for can be found at https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pip/pip-points-system. Focus especially on the definition of “reliably” and, exactly like ESA, muse sure you have at least one detailed recent example per points scoring activity.
Use https://pipinfo.net/ for a nice, readable plain English explanation of all relevant terms.
3 - seek representation if available. There’s no perfect resource out there but https://advicelocal.uk/find-an-adviser is as good as any. Whether or not you have a rep please look at https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/56379/representation-and-tribunal-hearings#latest.
Was wondering is it good idea to have notes of what to mention after they ask all questions? Like regarding what was wrong in pip assesment (things i never said or are simply lie)?
