    Its disgusting the way the system is with Pip, if they looked at everyones claim properly in the first place this would not happen.
    Very very stressful.
    Good luck

    Sadly the wait is very long for a hearing, my wife's been waiting 31 weeks and she was told last week that the average waiting time is now 34-35 weeks.

    As an example, if she does have to wait for the full 35 weeks then that would be 41 weeks in total, she had her PIP stopped 6 weeks before the appeal was logged by the Tribunals Service.

    The sheer volume of appeals proves that the assessment criteria from the DWP is woefully broken.

    Good on you the DWP will always try and dismiss us if they assessed everyone properly in the first place we would not have all this stress.

    @vijay

    It is standard practice for DWP to ask Tribunal to dismiss the appeal.  It is rare for a Tribunal to do so as DWP's arguments for dismissal usually are so weak, no grounds to speak of.

    i appealed my award in January 2017 waited 9 months for tribunal the decision was set aside new tribunal now in June and my review is due in December 
    Could end up appealing 2 awards at the same time.
    The appeal system is horrendous and the DWP  hope that claimants will realise this and not bother appealing

    Hence why the reason I jumped ship after having had 5 years of PIP hell.
