Hi to all , I have been fighting with the benefits system for a long long time ! , and at times you just think ( f..k it ) I've had enough , it just just not worth the hassle , but this is what they want , and it really gets me so angry that it's their plan. To just disable already disabled people , and those like me with mental illness , you got to a hearing and they want you to speak up clearly , and basically behave like a ( normal ) person , which is just ironic , since you have a condition that's makes you anything but ( normal ) ( sorry for the rant lol ) anyway about my case staudy or current situation , I got 11 points at my pips hearing or whatever they call that false !
7 for one side and 4 for the other , so I was 1 point short of getting an award , now thers a sunrise , ( not )

Just wanted to say , went for my pips appeal today , got awarded enhanced rate for both , 12 and 13 points , didn't even have to go in , they said the medical evidence was enough on paper , so we'll happy

Congratulations, @dedus!
Lucky you not even having to go in! I was awarded daily living 13 points and 12 at my tribunal hearing, but they quizzed me for half an hour. Still, the main thing was they allowed my appeal. -
This was my second time at this appeal , they adjourned it 13 months ago for medical reports , but the judge this time was really mind and came into the waiting room to personally explain to me what their decision was , I couldn't believe IT , I thought at best I may get one side on the low rate , so Yeh today is a good day , we will just have to see how the dreaded dwp react , because they will owe me a lot of money with it being backdated for 13 months on the high rate ! Glad to hear you got your award , you must have handled the grilling well

@dedus
DWP will just have to pay up because the tribunal have made their decision. DWP paid my backdated money (seven months) after three weeks. Hope there are no delays in your case. -
I hope so too ,

That's great news about the appeal, @dedus. Congratulations!Liam
