I attended tribunal last month after 15 months since my claim started. I was astonished at how lovely the trubunal members were. DWP did send someone to represent them but i was fortunate enough to learn as he explained to me in the waiting area that he has no issues with my evidence and purely there to make sure the process is followed. He overheard me speaking to the clerk in the waiting area as i was worried.
I won my appeal and i am very happy that i continued with the process as we all know the DWP try to discourage as many eligible claimants as possible. It was a gruelling process but one i highly recommend to those who have the capacity to continue of course
The best advice given to me was to emphasise safety issues by using real life examples in the activities and descriptors. Thanks @poppy123456 My advice to anyone is to begin the claim with the acceptance that having medical conditions is not the reason why PIP is given, but HOW your health condition affects your daily living.
Good luck to those who are in the process of claiming benefits.
