    Hi @rebecca1981, and welcome!

    Best of luck with your tribunal: many of our community members have been through the process and will be happy to help. You may like to look at our previous PIP/DLA discussions where many have shared their experiences, and you may also find Scope's advice on appealing DWP decisions helpful. Best of luck, and keep us updated!

    Put all your evidence together and go there and present the case of your child, just try to be calm and answer all their questions as best as you can, if they need more evidence they will request for it directly or ask you to produce if as soon as possible...take your time and I wish you best of luck.

    HI and welcome to the community.
    I have been through the P.I.P process through the courts.
    I wish I could say it was easy, but it wasn't (i was very emotional)
    There was a judge, a doctor and a health care person, asking me questions.
    Some stupid questions like "Who does my hair" "Who does my nails" 
    There was also a clerk there writing everything down.
    I took my husband for support, and a lady from the deaf society.
    They were both quetioned, on how I deal with my disabilitys.
    I sent them a dairy of when I had hospital or doctors appointments, dates, times, procedures, diagnosis ect. 
    Hospital and doctors letters.
    Appointment letters.
    I even sent in pictures of all my infections.
    Does your son have support from an organisation? 
    I would send letters from his teachers, explaining how it effects him school.
    I would write a letter, telling them how your son and you manage on a daily basis.
    I hope that helps, I know how stresfull it can be. 
    Best wishes
    Bev
