Tribunal date.

Morning everyone. I've just been given a date for my pip tribunal. I'm upset one minute and angry the next. I was awarded standard rate for daily living and mobility. 2 points short for higher rate.
If they take the car I'm house bound, don't live near public transport or shops. All my independence (what's left) will be gone. I'm depressed at the thought of not being able to visit my daughter and grandsons. I'm also angry that the government are doing this to people. Why would I lie about my health just to get a car! Would love to still be working but can't. Sorry about the moan. Normally I'm OK about life but can't think straight this morning. Sorry for moaning.
