My daughter has her pip tribunal in a few weeks... she has ptsd due to being attacked at the age of 14 and 16 and because of her alcoholic father.. will she have to go into detail about the PTSD she is also registered blind. Pip was refused because she can make beans on toast , and roughly how long does the tribunal take.
Thank you for any help

Hi,If she doesn't have an appointee then yes she will need to answer all the questions herself, otherwise her appointee will be able to answer them on her behalf.What questions they ask her will totally depend on her case and how her conditions affect her and no one can tell you what exactly they will ask.How long the hearing will last will also depend on her case and again no one can answer that.Sometimes a decision can't be made on the day, if this happens they will write to her within a few days with the decision. It doesn't mean she won't be awarded. Lots of people don't receive the decision on the day and are awarded successfully.Good luck to your daughter.0

Thanks everyone... when I asked about what they asked I meant will she actually have to tell them that she was raped or could she say something happened to me at 14 and 16 xx0

How awful, i'm so sorry!It really depends what questions they ask her. No one can answer that for certain.0

Ok just know if they make her say it it will make her so bad thank you0

They can't make her say anything. If they ask her questions it will be because they are trying to get a picture of how her conditions affect her.
