Evening everyone.

I have been waiting almost 40 weeks for pip tribunal. As yet again mobility reduced to standard. I had a call yesterday afternoon from Pip saying they have decided I should never of had mobility taken off me and Would I be willing to stop the tribunal and they will immediately reinstate mobility. She apologised for the long wait. I said I would take the offer. Very surprised I have heard of people getting phone calls but never thought I would receive a call. 
Now time to relax and put all paperwork away until next time lol.
Good luck to everyone who is fighting pip.

    Hi all .The same thing happened to me I started my pip at the start of the year and now going to a Tribunal hearing which I have no date for as the first time I got it will be in the next 2 months in june at that time I still had no word so got back on to them and got it will be in the next 37 to 39 weeks and that is on top of the 2 months up to the end of  june and that's the start for it and that will be in the next 37 to 39 weeks so that will be 45 weeks at the best if no more weeks are put on and there is still no help from the dwp

    She said I could refuse and still go ahead with tribunal.  
    But i'm hoping now I can relax a little and not worry about how much longer and the stress of a tribunal. Fingers crossed my PTSD might calm down too

    My last tribunal was for a 2 year award. I've only known peeps with things like ocpd ect get 10 year award.

    If you have a lifelong and degenerative condition it was likely the tribunal would have given a 10 year/ongoing award. That’s why you got the offer.
    But don't you have to have enhanced both plus the degenerative condition? Well that's how I read it  maybe I am wrong.

    I won't get better. And with all reports they can see how it has got worse. My main condition is spinal plus other bits and bats. 3 years is the longest I have had.

    Likewise me too. I have a lower spinal injury and have only had 3 year awards. A point to mention is that with any length of award apart from a 10 year one given by the DWP, you will be reassessed again 12 months before the end of the award. A 3 year award means 2 years.

    Yeah I will be be accessed in 2020 & not 2021. I didn't know that. It doesn't surprise that they don't mention that.
