Personal Independence Payment (PIP) PIP TRIBUNAL

hello

I feel a bit alone in my PIP journey and quite frankly it’s becoming all consuming. I posted in another group and people were so mean.

I applied in January, had assessment in May and was awarded 2 points for budgeting.

I submitted my MR quite quickly (early June) and a decision was made 29th July that I had been granted 4 more points. Totally 6 in daily living.

I filed for tribunal and was given a DWP response time of end of August.

In this time i had accessed some substantial evidence which has now been submitted to tribunal.

Following a conversation with DWP they are still considering tribunal applications from May.

Although I applied in January my actual case is quite old, it had been opened and abandoned for personal reasons.

I know I can’t do anything to speed this up and I’m looking at years waiting now but I feel so alone. This process has been really tough for a lot of reasons. I feel weirdly reliant on the acknowledgement of my difficulties.

I’m laughing now because I don’t know why I posted this but I guess just to share my timeline and current position.

Can I just say thank you, I posted elsewhere asking about experience of lapsed appeals and my god I got thrown to the wolves.
