Successful Pip Telephone tribunal

I had my tribunal today and although I was a bag or nerves and had to have a 10 minute break from the call I was treated with such kindness and compassion by the judge & Dr and also another lady on the panel, I was called back within 10 minuets of the tribunal ending and was told my appeal was successful!! I cried and thanked them again I’ve gone through 20 months of hell to finally be heard for the first time, the appeal process is long and gruelling it’s extremely hard on the mental health. There are YouTube videos that really helped me prepare and another website with details and forms for you to fill and go through on the day so you don’t miss anything out you think they should hear. Right now I’m in a state of shock as this news has only just been told to me I want to be happy but until I get the letter from DWP it still feels like a stage of limbo I’m hoping I don’t have to wait longer than the 6 week period. I’m not sure what I get but I know that I’m enhanced daily living
standard mobility unsure of the exact sums. But I can finally get myself a career and start having some sort of life back!!

I just have to Wait now for my letter because I’m not sure how my payments will work or when it’s will officially start. I’m not even sure they have my bank details anyone know how this works?
I hope it doesn't take long to be sorted and congratulations again!

Congratulations!
Im just wondering if this was a new PIP claim that was refused at assessment and MR stage?
Im currently in this position and applied in November 2018 so unsure of what’s happening now; DWP haven’t responded and apparently it’s being sent to a judge now but I’m not sure whether they’re to make the decision regarding the claim or the DWP’s failure to respond.
It’s a nightmare!

My thoughts were that they only offered telephone tribunals to those cases who are likely to be successful and so it saves some time at court (wishful thinking probably).
The doctor and disability advisor were friendly but it struck me that the latter hadn't read my notes at all.
On the phone for 55 minutes, the judge was very thorough and now it's just a matter of waiting, fingers crossed.

I am in receipt of high rate care PIP once again as well as the lwcra element, am I right in saying that we are unable to apply for the carer element of UC?
