I found this website whilst scrolling about looking for pip information. I won my PiP tribunal last week Tuesday and wanted to know what happens next

    Hi @Rue601 welcome to the forum, there's lots of information on the site about pip. Well done for winning a tribunal, they will probably be in touch with you soon.

    You will eventually be contacted by DWP to ask some standard questions of whether you've had been in hospital or prison. After that they will pay you what they owe you and put your award into payment. It can take between 2-8 weeks, sometimes longer for this to happen.

    @Tori_Scope: I had it over video call and I found it ok. I was asked a few questions and given a few ideas on what to get that would help me. They were all lovely on there .

    It sounds like you had a reasonably positive experience then @rue601, which is good :) We often hear that people don't necessarily find the tribunal as scary or intimidating as they thought they would.

    What one piece of advice would you give to someone going through the same situation as you?

    I hope it's not too long until you get your payments!

    @Tori_Scope
     I would advice staying calm, make sure all important is paperwork at hand. Write everything you want to say and answer all the questions clearly.

    That's sound advice @Rue601 :) I'm sure others will find it helpful to learn from your experience!

    @L_Volunteer 😁

    I can see you're an advisor for EHCP, am looking for help filling in my sons as I have to do it myself. School refused but my Early Help caseworker said I should do it anyway

    I am indeed @Rue601. Thanks for tagging me in this post.

    Sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties with this at the moment. I can hear your frustration.

    If the school refused, you can contact your local authority to request an EHCP assessment! 

    Is there anything, in particular, that you are struggling to fill in at the moment? It is really important to me that I hear your situation as accurately as possible. 

    I hope this helps. If we can do anything else to help, please don't hesitate to let us know. We are all here for you  :)
