    Hi @DARRANWILLIS - Welcome to the community. It's your decision to go ahead with a phone tribunal, or not. However, at the moment, phone tribunals have a higher success rate than previously.
    If you haven't come across the activities, or descriptors, that are looked at, please have a look at the following link to see where you might gain those extra points. Please see: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/Scores-for-PIP-Descriptors-2020.pdf
    If you do decide to go ahead with your tribunal, please take your time in replying, & try to give a couple of examples for each applicable descriptor as to the difficulty you faced at the time of your assessment.
    Whatever you decide to do, we will all support you. :)

    Hello @DARRANWILLIS. Have you been given a date for the telephone tribunal? Have you made a decision as to whether you will go through with it?

    Hi @DARRANWILLIS Welcome to the community.

    Have you been given  date for the telephone tribunal if so I would try and go ahead if you can as it will be a long wait for any other type of hearing.

    Go through your bindle before the call and make sure you are clear why you think you should be awarded more points giving examples of what happened when you tried ty do the task 

    Good luck and keep us updated

    I would go ahead but that's my opinion 

    Think about it what have you got to lose it may go in your favour then it will all be over too 

    Why do you think you should have got more points that's what you need to consider

    Hello @DARRANWILLIS.
    You won't be able to see one another during the telephone tribunal. Whether they would allow you a break is at their discretion, but remember to take your time and just be open with them and say if it's getting too much for you. I imagine they are used to people finding the process difficult and they should be understanding of that.
