Hi,Can i just ask you to confirm that you said you have a date for the Tribunal hearing in 3 weeks time? even though you only requested the appeal 3 weeks ago? are you sure you've received a date already?The fact that the how your disability affects you form wasn't filled in correctly doesn't really matter now because the assessment is over. There's most likely thousands of people out there that don't fill out this form with all the information about how their conditions affect them but they still go on to be awarded PIP with out any problems at all.The evidence that wasn't included, you need to send this to HMCTS ASAP to make sure it arrives within 10 days of the hearing date. If you have extra evidence to send then i'd advise you to send that as well. Make sure you add you name NI number and Tribunal reference to everything you send.Are you taking someone with you to the hearing or going alone?0

Have you also written your submission and sent that? If you haven't you should also do this to state where you think you should have scored those points and your reasons why. Adding a couple of real life examples of what happened the last time you attempted that activity for each descriptor that applies to you.

No problem. You should not be contacting DWP at this stage because it's in the hands of HMCTS now and it's them you should contact.Whether or not you had fair assessment doesn't really matter now because it's at Tribunal stage and this is what you need to concentrate on. Forget what did or didn't happen at the assessment because that's not important. What is important is presenting your case, even though you've been give an extremely quick date. Most people are waiting almost a year because backlogs are huge.0

@justdon, there is an organisation called Equal Lives. Google them. They are an advocacy group for disabled people and represent several counties under one umbrella. If you're not in the counties they represent, I'm sure they can point you to the correct advocacy group. Even so, their website is full of information as to how to go about battling the DWP. They even have different templates to use for all different kinds of communication to send to the DWP. Equal Lives were instrumental in helping me "win" my tribunal. They held my hand every step of the way. I've been in your shoes, as have so many others. There are plenty of advocacy groups for the disabled out there, and they will jump through hoops to help you.2

What do you mean the original claim was put in 1 year 3 months ago? Was that this claim or a different one?

@justdon, I wish you all the best in your endeavours. Unfortunately, the DWP puts up many roadblocks, hoping you'll take your lumps and go away. Fight on! You got this! ?1

I had to read the last comment a few times but i'm still confused. It doesn't make sense to me that they have combined the 2nd claim with the first claim. Did you have that in writing?If this claim matches the number on the first claim then what happened to the 2nd claim made in October, what was the decision on that?0
