HI im new here, iv been going through my PIP appeal for a year and a half, iv just tracked it and it said Hearing booked, but no date, so i rang and she said they cant give me a date incase of anychange but to ring at the end of the month of iv not had my decision in the post, im now worried sick as i was due to attend and cant because of covid. Iv now just got to sit and wait which doesnt help me. Has anyone had this? If so are the outcome to them doing it without me the same as face to face?

Hi and welcome,Face to face hearings have been suspended for quite a few months and there's no sign of them starting back anytime soon. Instead people are having telephone hearings, some have had paper based decisions.The success rate of both has been amazing. Hopefully you'll hear something soon. Good luck.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.

@Username_removed this is what i was actually waiting for a phone hearing, its confused me as they sent a letter asked me to agree to the phone hearing which i did, then all of a sudden its now down to just them. Its so confusing.
Thanks everyone for the replies means alot x -

Hi again, i got a letter through the post saying an actual date now and also its a phone call appointment, i got it the day after i rang and was told i couldnt be told a date and was told it was being done with out me. Just thought id update x

It seems like they couldn't make a decision without the telephone hearing. Hope it goes well, good luck.

Hi everyone, update on my appeal, i had my tribunal phone call on Friday the 28th Aug and had my decision by the 4th Sep, which i won ? i couldnt be any happier, but the only thing that has confused me is it states on the letter that i het it from when i first applied but only untill may next year? Can anyone help me understand this please.

That's great news. Yes, the award ends in May 2021. This means that you'll be contacted by DWP 14 weeks before the award is due to end and then you'll need to apply again. Back dated money can take between 2-8 weeks after a Tribunal win.

@poppy123456 thankyou for the reply ? so i will have to go through it all again ???? like the hole form, assessment f2f and the end up taking it to tribunal again? Thankyou.
-
It will be the PIP2 forms yes and another assessment yes. Hopefully next time you'll be successfully awarded and won't have to take it to Tribunal.

@poppy123456 whats pip2 forms? I feel lile il have to keep fighting ?Thanks again

It's the "how your disability affects you form" most likely the one you filled out the last time. These forms haven't changed since PIP was introduced. Example here. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/713118/pip2-how-your-disability-affects-you-form.pdf

If you were waiting a for 18 months for this Tribunal then that's a nice amount of backpay they will owe you, depending on what you were awarded.

Iv neen waiting 16 months and won standard on both. Thanks for helping me, im really upset that im.going to have to reapply x

That's a long time to wait. When it's nearer the time to reapply please post back here and i'm sure someone will give you some advice regarding filling out the forms. I won't give you the advice now as you have a few months before that will happen.
