Hi ,I am 53 and have just lost my appeal for PIP .The Tribunal did award me more points than I got from the assessment but just not enough for an award to be granted .I have PTSD,Diabetes (type 2) Ehlers danlos syndrome (hypermobility ) and a large hiatus hernia .Will be re-applying but ,it is all so very stressful .
Anyway that is me ,I will be posting in the PIP forum soon with questions I have .

    Thank you ,Thinking back ,my main issue with my disabilities is that I refuse to be beaten by them and ,I think that reflected in my answers I gave at the tribunal .They also focussed heavily on my walking ability that I forgot to emphasise my mental health issues with going out and needing someone with me .
