Just to let you all know that after a year and a half and my tribunal being adjourned in April to obtain medical records. I'm pleased to say I had my tribunal today and I got an award. It was really hard going through all the waiting ect.... really impacted on my mental health but please don't give up!! If I can do it then so too can you!!
Thank you to those who offered me advice in my time of need.

Hi @JustJan
Thanks for letting us know, about the good outcome of your PIP appeal.
This will give encouragement and hope to members of the community, going through the PIP process.
You can now relax and concentrate on things that are important to you.
Best wishes0 -
@o5jessica the only advice I can give is until you get an actual date,just put it out of your mind. I know this is really hard but you will drive yourself crazy if you don't.
On the day you are asked alot of questions about how your illness affects your day to day life. It's best to have the law centre or cab to help you.0 -
Thank you all for your kind words. It's been awful all the waiting and stress.1

I can't even think about that with all I have just gone through while waiting for this claim !!0
-
are you saying it took 6 months to get your medical records ?0
-
No it took 5 months for a new date after they adjourned it to obtain medical records. The records took about 5 weeks to come through. When they receive them,they put you on the list for tribunal.0

JustJan said:@Yadnad so they awarded it you for 3 years but kept assessing every other year? This is so terrible!
That's why I gave up with the system. 70 now and the thought of these re-assessments/appeals etc until I die was too much to accept.

I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to you after all that happening. Thank you for the warning.I've been awarded it for 6 years but I guess that doesn't mean much from what you say.1
