Unlike assessments, tribunals are impartial and are made up of professional people. There is a doctor, a lawyer (the judge) and a disability expert. Their purpose is to find out what you can and can't do. If your answer isn't clear, they'll ask supplementary questions that should enable you to clarify what you mean. -
When you receive the bundle you will have the address to send your submission

thank you-need to call CAB .
-
Getting help from CAB is a very good idea if you can.
The "formula" that I posted I have used to win appeals for my wife and four other claims. So I do know what you are going through
Even if you can get help from CAB there is no harm in making a start yourself

I went to the CAB re my ESA and was awarded that without an assessment-been on IB since 1998 -so as far as i am concerned if they can automatically change IB to ESA why cant they change DLA automatically to PIP.They use the excuse its a new benefit -well so was ESA.It is not as though we are new claimants.thats my views on it,i know n ot everyone will agree.
i didnt re PIP -filled form out b y myself but went to CAB when turned down for PIP.
Almost every descriptor/justification was incorrect and lies and the same for almost every activity.I will try and make a start-i dont know if i will get a supportive letter from my GP as i havent been with this one long and he has no idea how my conditions affect me-he said last time that he couldnt say i had arthritis because it was not in my notes and i have several problems still undiagnosed.so i have a lot going on with GP issues right now and when i have told other gp's in the practice that I couldnt walk far or uphill steps all they said was "you walk ok here"but only saw me walk literally less than 2 metres.
anyway thanks i will try and print off what you said as a guide. -
the CAB no longer provide support at tribunals due to withdrawal of funding would a welfare rights service provide support?
-
hi i had a tribuanl in 2005 froexactly the same reason pthe assessor lied throughout and had a CAB representative then
-
hi mike i havent received the letter yet but did receive an email from my MP's office re reply to my complaint to IAS-and from the gist of glancing through it -it seems the same lies made and excuses etc.
have asked MP where to go from here as once again they are lying and not accepting the assessors lies -fabrications etc.
-
thanks Mike. I pointed out the contradictions -lies and assumptions etc to the MP.and have done for the tribunal-or will do,whether or not i handle the complaint myself they will still "have an answer for everything",.one councillor told me to contact my MP as MP's have clout over the NHS but MP said she cant do anything (not re PIP-another matter which she did help me with last year but declined thsi time).
-
rainbow58 On your decision letter does it read " I have changed the descriptor choices previously chosen " Reason I ask is because it said this on mine and I only scored 2 points , so don't know if assessor scored me higher , or if it refers to my assessment way back in 2014 .
-
mikehughescq it would be my report from my 2014 assessment that I need to see to compare , bearing in mind the descriptors have changed since 2014 especially with regards to mobility .
-
mikehughescq Thankyou , I will ask for a copy of my 2014 report. .Also i am hoping the MR will take into account the mobility changes which came into effect after my assessment 29th Dec 2017. My decision letter was dated Sunday 07/01/2018 .I sensed the need for speed .
-
mikehughescq As mentioned above, my assessment was 29th Dec 2017 . Soon after this date we heard the news that the Govt had changed the mobility rules regarding Mobility and mental health . My question is this will the MR decision maker use the rules that applied on Dec 29th 2017 . or comply with the new rules regarding mobility and mental health .
-
mikehughesq Thankyou Hopefully the RM decision maker will adjust my scores accordingly .
-
mike do ypu think the DWP will send me a copy of my 2005 assessment/tribunal result
-
rainbow58 I was told to also write to the assessors company in my case CAPITA as they hold information about me . They have done my last 2 asessments
-
Dottydotty did Capita send them to you?
-
rainbow58 I am still waiting, apparently they have to send them within 40 days of asking . Ii am hoping it will include everything , medical , letters etc . I have also lodged a complaint with Capita and am still awaiting my reply .
-
rainbow58 I have been on ESA , DLA . PIP so should be quite a considerably amount of information .
