Hi I have just had my pip tribunal and won after not getting a single point at my first assesment.after waiting just close to 13 month for my tribunal date,I arrived there but after about10 mins they had to adjourn my hearing as they didn't have my medical records.so after waiting another 3 months for them to get my records,I went back to the tribunal,spoke confidently to the questions and just told the truth.the tribunal panel gave me 18 points and mobility,so it just shows you,if you are patient and wait it out,and I know it can be stressful,please appeal because they don't want you to.if you are disabled you need to stand up to the DWP.you will prevail.good look to everyone who is going through what I've just been through,and PLEASE! PLEASE DONT GIVE UP.

Thanks everyone for your kind words.it just goes to show these ppl who did your assesment who work for atoms,don't know about how illnesses affect people's lives.
