Have you made a submission to the appeal?

If not then it may be too late if your hearing is next week, your papers need to be with the Tribunal Service seven days in advance of the hearing.

You don't say whether you are appealing for a higher award or because you received no award, but in either case the Tribunal panel will only find in your favour because you have shown that you meet the criteria to score sufficient points for an award.

So I would go through our PIP Claim guide, your PIP2 and the assessment report to see how well your have explained your limitations and whether you have shown you meet the PIP Descriptors.

Pay particular attention to whether you can perform the activities "reliably" and on the majority of days, these terms are defined in the guide.

You are not being asked to complete the activities pain free, but any pain that limits your ability to complete an activity should be considered.

Take the Descriptors as they are written, bring your limitations to them rather than trying to make the Descriptors fit your problems, as this does not work.

If you have further questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
