I recently had my PIP tribunal, which took almost 11 months for a date. My mental and physical health has got worse since I applied. Yet they only wanted to know about how I was last march! Was constantly feeling like the doctor was trying to trip me up, and confuse me. They wouldn't let my partner speak, even when it was obvious I was struggling. I got denied.. I need help, I'm all out of fight now.

    The tribunal can only consider how your conditions affected you at the time of assessment, not how they might have affected you after that date. And they are supposed to be inquisitorial; that's their job; they are there to find out the facts.

    The tribunal expect the claimant to answer their questions, not their companion, unless the claimant has severe learning difficulties.

    Disability Rights UK site has a guide to all stages of PIP.
