    Hello @berry123 and it's lovely to see you back on the community.

    Just to check, when you say your PIP appeal do you mean you are at the tribunal stage? Or mandatory reconsideration?

    Then why are you asking questions on here? You should be going to your rep with any questions you have, that's why you have the rep.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    I'm sorry for your loss @berry123. I'm sure that must have been very difficult to cope with. Have you been able to get all of the support you need to help you through the grieving process? 

    I'm glad to hear that you have a representative, and that they're sorting things out with you. Do you feel as though you can approach them to ask questions about the process if needed? They'll know the most about your individual case, and should best placed to talk things through with you.

    That being said, I understand that you'd want to ask the question on the community to hear other people's words of support, and advice based on their own experiences. 

    Anyone is free to ask questions on the community of this nature. I can only imagine that going to tribunal can be confusing and worrying at times, and we want the community to be a place where people feel they can share these worries, and become clearer on what their next steps should be.
