    You need to send your submission in as soon as possible and usually within one month, any further evidence at least 7 days before the hearing.

    Sorry for silly questions but is a submission like what I disagree with and so on.

    Not a silly question
    Yes, your submission is you making your case and showing that you do meet the descriptors

    Please do get help with this if possible

    Oh thank you, I will go to town and see if I can speak with someone from CAB or even ring them. I just feel the tribunal just want to catch you out but I just want to be myself and explain how I am on a day to day basis.

    The tribunal are independant and want to understand how you are affected they are only interested in the truth.
    The very nature of a tribunal means that it will be inquisitorial

    Hi alisha

    You do not need to send any of the letters or evidence that you have already submitted as copies will be in the bundle

    For pip tribunal can you send hospital appointment letters and results just before the hearing. And do we take the whole bundle with us too.

    As for evidence my gp wrote a short note as did my physio, hopefully this will be enough. The assessor from capita had said my medication is not high enough dosage for them to consider. I was on 150mg sertraline antidepressant now I'm on 100mg amongst other tablets. I don't understand these assessor reports.

    Sorry guys, I might of asked this question before but was wondering once receiving the dwp bundle is there a time scale we have to send submission by like with the mandatory we have a month.

    Yes you should send your submission within a month
    Hospital appointment and results may help with the why but not the how. PIP is about how you are affected and not so much your condition
