Sassy sailor, I suggest you don't tell DWP you think they are silly to award you mobility, or they might want to reassess you.

Well I wouldn't say that to them ? but if they think they can bribe me to go outside when I have serious post traumatic stress is a bit silly ??♀️
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. -
Okay what I said was in jest, I'm really sorry if you misunderstood what I was saying.

It does sound strange to give a mobility award to a claimant that cannot go out. As Mike said you can use the award for any purpose,Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste

ataloss2018 said:Hi to everyone, appreciate this question may have been asked a thousand times already but here goes.
My wife is disabled and has been waiting on an appeal time date for 29 weeks now and still we haven't heard anything, we've rang the appeals service but they say they can't give a date when the appeal will be heard.
We are struggling financially and she has had a lot of hospital appointments lately, these hospital appointments all entail a round trip of 130 miles and the constant worry about the PIP appeal and the possible outcome is adding to her ill health.
Any pointers on how long the maximum waiting times for an appeal to be heard would be gratefully received.
Just for Info purposes, she was initially on DLA and was transferred to PIP and had been on it for 3 years, in April last year she was assessed by a nurse from Atos and went from previously been awarded Enhanced Daily Living/Standard Mobility Component to zero points.

No good news really. I've just got my appeal date. It's taken 52 weeks.
-
71% of appeals win. It's worth the wait.

I have my appeal on 7th June. I had waited a year.

Hi all, new on here, I would like to know if it’s wise to have a hearing by paper, my son whose pip we are fighting for is at the moment in a hospital in Norwich a unit for eating disorders and mental Health and has been for 12 wks. I just sent evidence of this and have now had an email asking when his discharge date will be and if we would like a non attending hearing. I can’t give a discharge date and the hearing will be in Truro so a major journey as in application that’s where my son was. We are now at 43 wks so could get a date soon, any advice please would be gratefully received.

Only 5-8% of paper based hearings succeed, against 74% of those that appear in person.Are you his appointee? If so then have you asked HMCTS if you can appear in person for your son? This maybe an option because of him being in hospital. I would contact them to ask.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 and thanks for such a quick reply, I am his appointee and have said that should my son still be in the unit I would represent him as I’m already registered as his representative on all documents, they said they would expect to see the appellant at his own tribunal, I explained that when phoning the contact number on the tribunals letter I was told categorically that I could go and represent my son without actually informing the tribunal, apparently this is incorrect and it was very lucky this Came to light after sending evidence. I’m not keen on a paper tribunal for fear of him loosing yet what are you supposed to do when odds are stacked against you
-
It's a very difficult decision to make. Whether or not a decision will go in his favour with a paper based decision will totally depend on how his case was presented. Lots of areas have backlogs in excess of 1 year, if this is your area then you still have a while to go yet. If you do have a date soon, then good luck what ever you decide.

If you get one in 32 weeks I would say thats quite quick for the tribunal service,
I have had 2 tribunals personally.
The first took nearly 22 months for a hearing.
The second was a quicker one but still a 19 month wait, (including adjournment.)
When I did work for a charity that did tribunal work, I think the quickest I had ever seen was just under a year.
