PIP Tribunal? was created by Pamela j
Hello
Despite submitting new medical evidence for a mandatory review, from my GP , spinal surgeon and rheumatologist. Fourteen pieces in all. Despite them contacting Atos for comment , the DWP still have not increased my allowance.
I already feel absolute fatigue and stress as I also have to deal with pending spinal surgery.
Is it really worth going to a PIP tribunal.?
Thank you

As always it is your decision but MR success rates are very low, maybe no more than 5% whereas Tribunal rates are In excess of 60%.

But I threw everything at it , is there any point in giving the same evidence at a tribunal?
Also how long does it take to get a tribunal hearing, I am worried it will be the same time as my spinal surgery and I wouldn't be able to attend for quite a while after surgery?

The Tribunal panel will have a copy of all the paperwork already generated by you and DWP, you do not need to supply these again. The panel will pay far more attention to what you tell them on the day and give less weight to the assessor's report.
The appeal could take anything from a few weeks to a few months, I'm afraid I can't be more exact than that.

Can you lose what you have been given at a tribunal? How common is it if you can?

If the panel thinks that an existing award is in danger of being reduced or removed then they have an obligation to warn the claimant of this so that they can withdraw the appeal.
