Help I have got to the stage of pip tribunal, this morning received letter saying they have received evidence regarding a discharge letter and print screens of previous appts, I have not got a date for my tribunal but the end of the letter has really got me down it says the secretary of states position remains unchanged. I don’t know what they mean by this any advice really gratefully received.
many thanks

I take it the letter is from DWP. It means that they haven’t changed their mins about their existing decision. Therefore you will continue to a tribunal hearing.2

Thank you for your response, things like this always drop through the letterbox at the weekend when no one at work to ring and ask, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so stressful0

Welcome to the community @trixie2013
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so stressed at the moment. I hope that calcotti's comment has cleared that up for you a bit.
Do you have an expert rep helping you with your tribunal? If not, I'd definitely second the advice to check out advicelocal.uk to see if there's any support available to you.0 -

11-16 weeks. PIP isn't about not being able to work. Have you had a full benefits check to see if you're entitled to any other benefits? If you haven't then you should do this by contacting an advice agency near you. Start here. https://advicelocal.uk/

Are you claiming SSP from your employer? This is payable for 28 weeks with a fit notes from your GP. https://www.gov.uk/statutory-sick-pay/eligibility3 months before this ends you can claim New style ESA providing you've paid the correct amount of NI contirbutions in the previous 2 tax years, which will be April 2019 to March 2020 from the 1st week in January. You will need your SSP1 form and a fit note from your GP but you won't receive any money until the SSP ends.If you're not entitled to any SSP and have paid the correct amount of NI contributions in the previous 2 tax years (2018 - 2020 if you claim now) then you can claim New style ESA now.

Yes but only have another couple of weeks I think0

Thank you im
just worried that I won’t be able to pay my bills0 -
Look at claiming New style ESA if you've paid the correct amount of NI contributions. It pays £74.70 per week (over 25's)
