So in December 2020 I applied for pip, I waited til may 2021 to have a telephone assessment to which the decisions makers scored me zero on every category.
I sent in for a mandatory reconsideration in the July 2021 to which again they scored me zero across all categories and that decision did not come until October 2021.
I applied for tribunal in March 2022 it was late due to on going family issues which the courts allowed and set me a hearing for 14th October 2022, I found this out 2 weeks before the hearing.
Today 19th October 2022 I logged into my hm courts and tribunal service account and the outcome was on there. I have been award enhanced rate daily living (13points) and standard rate mobility (10points) from my claim date in Dec 2020 until Dec 2023.
So to all who think a 0 score across all boards means there's no chance, please do not give up, do not let dwp make you doubt your disability whether it be physical or mental!!!

Excellent news @Dan2three
this is encouraging for others including me as I’m awaiting a tribunal date

Waiting for the date was long, then receiving the date just set me into Complete overload and panick!
Mine was telephone based, the clerk rang first and talked me through the process before linking me into the call which helps alot. Rather than just random questions they where all pretty much based on things I had explained in my claim.
Hope this helps and I have everything crossed for you
