pip appeal phone call 2021

Hello zoski85,

I am sorry to hear that the tribunal was just a bad experience for you.

You do have a right to ask to for a 'Statement of Reasons' and also a copy of proceedings. The statement should tell you why they decided what they decided. If you believe that they have made an error in law then you have a right to request the Upper Tribunal look at the decision which the tribunal came to.

Hi Zoski85,

To be able to do something you have to be able to ‘reliably’ – this means you have to be able to do it-

Safely – in a fashion that is unlikely to cause harm to themselves or to another person.
To a necessary and appropriate standard – given the nature of the activity.
Repeatedly – as often as is reasonably required.
In a timely manner – in a reasonable time period.

Clearly if the result of doing something is that you are unable to repeat it due to pain you do not meet the criteria for being able to do it reliably.

You might find this decision of the Upper Tribunal of interest
