pip denial

hi everyone
hope you all are as well as can be
just an update on my sons pip claim and the subsequent denial at mandatory and then the long wait to tribunal
WE have finally had the tribunal and we won it and all money is being back dated
we was only in the court for a short time and before we had even sat down they said to my son dont worry you havent got to speak if you dont want to as you have clearly won your tribunal !
it was a long hard wait and 17 months of unnecessary upset and hardship caused by the original denial .
my son originally got 2 points at the first meeting and then the mandatory appeal they still only gave him 2 points.
so after 17 months which is a real liberty taking this amount of time to hear his tribunal claim we won the tribunal and they gave my son 28 points in the end
they have also stated that as the tribunal took so long to happen they have advised the benefits office that we shjouldnt have to claim again for at least 5 years instead of the mandatory 3 years
as they said wed have to start the claim again in such a short period of time and its not fair for us to be put in this position again and so soon after winning
when we have to make a claim again
will we have to jump through hoops again! or will they take into account we won the tribunal and that if circumstances havent changed will he automatically receive pip in the future
or will we have to go to mandatory and then tribunal again
HOW can they get it so wrong at so many points of the claim and then give him 28 points at tribunal ,also why it took 17 months when the people before me at the tribunal had only waited 7 months ? no one could give me any reasoning as to why this happened and why they got it so wrong
i could now get back dated carers allowance as i was advised at the tribunal.
WILL it effect my sons claim or my own claims, or benefits ?
as im not well myself ( classed as palliative care ) and currently on benefit, i am worried it may cause more issues than i can handle at the moment !
if i did claim carers will it cause issues like over payment for the last 17 months on council tax and housing benefit , or my own benefits
this has been a hard struggle to win this battle but its not something i was going to let them get away with
so if you are going through this yourselves then please dont let them bully you out of it
make sure you continue with the claim,
would like to thank all that have helped us
thanks again -
Great news.Claiming carers allowance will depend on what benefits you claim. You also need to be careful because if the reasons your claiming carers allowance contradict the reasons why you're claiming the benefits yourself then it could go against you the next time you're re-assessed.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

hi
thankyou for that infomation
i was told that even though i have a carer looking after me i can still claim carers for my son
as the caring part doesnt have to be anything that contadicts my disabilities
caring can be in a multitude of ways like just being there and tal;king and helping out
ive decided not to bother re claiming the 17 months carers allowance
as my son would lose that part of his benefit
and also i would then have 17 months of hassle with the council and rent and council tax
and to be honest they give you it in one hand and then say you have too much regarding council tax and rent
so it would lead to over payments for those 2 benefits
as i say they give with one hand and take it away wirth the other
benefit caps
what a load of rubbish that is
