i had my tribunal 2 mth ago ,,. , it would be easy for me to say dont worry because it natural you are going to be,, all i can advise is just be honest and take your time answering there questions,. they will ask about your medication and so on , question will mainly be about daily thngd like washing cooking all the descriptor in the pip form ,,adn obviously about your mental health problems and howthey effect you from being unable to manage things,., i didnt feel there were trick questions but when you answer them give plenty of excamples of your worst days etc,, dont feel rushed to answer they are there to listen to you as well as ask questions ,, its not as bad as i thought it was going to be ,i was a quivering wreck whilst there and very tearfull but they treated me very kindly and were patient ,, just be honest and ime sure they will see for themselves how u srtuggle with daily activities ans so on ,, wishing you all the best and a massive good luck , hope it goes in your favour as it did for me ,,

and do a majority of illnesses like mine go to tribuneral.
It won't have anything to do with your illnesses, PIP considers the effects of your conditions.
We regularly see member go from zero points to an award and even the Enhanced rate for both components at appeal.

Harm manifests itself in many ways, I can't see anything wrong with what you have said.
Have you had your hearing, I thought it was tomorrow?
