Hi to all,I have my face to face tribunal in less than 2 weeks time.Already I am so anxious about it,I am not eating very much and my sleep is affected too.i know I am not the only one in this boat,but the stress of it all is already making my mental health worse,I have convinced myself I will not win my appeal.

I have sent in alot of evidence of how my mental health affects my daily living,a very detailed letter from my mental health nurse,medication I am taking,on a waiting list now for a year for autism,reports from talking therapy,So I hope that all helps.

I only scored 4 points on my pip assessment and that was only on daily living.My mental health also affects me using public transport,but they scored me 0 on this.

I am just asking if anyone has any help or advice,I do not have anyone to attend with me.as I am quite new to this area,also by means of getting to the court I will be getting a taxi,as buses just freak me out.

Sorry if I have gone on abit,just over thinking and anxious about the day is eating away at me.

Thankyou

    Hi @Charlie5.

    I'm so sorry that you're so worried about it. I have been in the exact same position as you so I completely understand. I scored 0 for my original application and the mandatory reconsideration despite having mobility and mental health issues. I ended up going to tribunal and I was awarded PIP.

    It would be helpful if there was someone who could attend with you but I understand you're new to the area. Is there anyone that could travel over and be there for you?

    You haven't 'gone on a bit' at all 😊 It's an extremely stressful time, be kind to yourself.

    I'm sure there'll be others here who can also share their experiences.
