Many thanks

You should take all of the papers related to the appeal with you but you could also take some notes just for you. You should be allowed to refer to these but it is important that you tell the panel about these at the beginning of the hearing and explain why you may need to use them during the hearing.

Hi
I have my tribunal this week for pip is it a good idea to write a diary for the past week of my problems and help I need to show the judge. Will it help my case or will it make no difference and not help?
Many thanks

There's no harm in you doing it, but I would be surprised if it is considered, the panel can only look at you problems as they were on the day of the Decision being appealed, so strictly speaking a diary of how you are now would be excluded.

Hi
My pip tribunal is this week is it worth mentioning or help in doing so or not that I have worked all my life until my depression, anxiety and PTS have got so severe that I cannot work?
Someone told me to let them know but I'm not sure to the weight in mentioning it.
My heart is rocketing.

It probably wouldn't make any difference.
They will have your claim record so should be aware of how long you have been too sick to work.
If you mention you were in work until you became incapacitated make sure you don't make it sound confrontational as in entitled to claim because you worked x years. That won't sway them at all
