Hi. Hope everyone is doing well.
I have a a PIP Tribunal on the 23rd of this month via video link from the Citizens Advice where I live. I wonder if anyone has any experience of these & will my representative speak on my behalf?
I won a tribunal in 2019 & it was a face to assessment, my rep who was brilliant during the whole process successfully argued my case and all I had to do was go in after her and acknowledge that I was happy with the award. Now I fear I'm not going to be able to articulate adequately my problems on the 23rd due to my anxiety.
Any advice is welcome. 
Take care,
TeddyB22

    Thanks Mike
    I have a telephone call with her about a week before the tribunal. I have to travel to her as she won't be in my town on the day of the Appeal.

    Hi
    Just wondered whether you'd had your hearing yet and, if so, how it went.
    I've just had a letter to say mine is on 8/3/23, also via video and I'm dreading it. That was how my initial assessment was conducted and I struggled to get across how things really were for me.
    I hope, if you've had yours, you were successful.

    This thread was posted in July 2021 and looking back at the members threads they were awarded standard mobility from the Tribunal. They already had standard daily living award before attending the Tribunal.

    The member also hasn't been active since Sept 2021.
