    Good afternoon @1977young and yes, but I hope you're staying nice and cool too! Thanks for updating everyone with the new date, we wish you all the best for a positive outcome.

    I think it's natural to feel a bit nervous when we've had negative past experiences, but there's no reason why things won't be different this time around. 

    Do you feel okay with preparing for it?

    Any information sent to the tribunal service (by you or DWP) will automatically be added as new evidence.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    It will depend on when your conditions got worse, as wasn't that the reason you started a new claim?
    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.

    No i started a new claim because i was told by the judges to start a new claim for a newer condition.

    Although PIP isn't awarded based on the conditions itself. It's how those conditions affect you against the 12 PIP activities.

    Are you getting any support to help you manage your PTSD @1977young? I can only imagine how the stress must be affecting you, on top on your PTSD and financial worries.

    I will ask the therapist next week before the last session.  I've had sepsis,  broken ankle where now i have metal plates and pins in my ankle permanently and both these happened within 4 months as well as the ptsd. I've been through so much

    It does sound as though you've been through an awful lot @1977young. You've been working hard to improve your situation, though, which I think is admirable. Let us know how you get on with asking the therapist next week :)
