Hi everyone,
I would be grateful for any experience shared as I would like to know if it is worth using a no win no fee solicitor for PIP Tribunal or go for free advice. I have contacted a no win no fee and is 35% if I win but on the other hand I contacted a free organisation who campaign to end poverty and they are happy to take me on but I am worried how fast this free organisation is in doing things compare to the no win no fee.
I am very stress as both sides seems very polite and happy to support me but I am not sure which one would be more efficient than the other in terms of timing in doing things.
I have already submitted to the court that I would like to appeal and no date has been set for the hearing as yet and no document sent yet.
Any experience or advice would be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Hi Keepy1
We cannot give you any advice about paying a solicitor to help for your PIP tribunal - and we certainly wouldn't recommend you doing so.
I do remember one of our members recently used a no win no fee firm and regretted it saying they could have done a better job themselves. Another member actually decided against it, realising that they knew themselves better than the firm and they went on to win.
Hopefully, if anyone has some experience, they will tell you - but our advice stands that we don't recommend people using a solicitor.

Hi BIS,
Thank you so much. It can be very overwhelming and stressful as it is hard to judge who can be more efficient. I agree with the advice not to use a solicitor for this as I have been thinking about it - I do not know what the laws says but I know myself better and I can speak for myself to explain my needs and pain. It is good habit to always trust your own inner instinct which I am trying hard to believe in myself. Thank you so much again.
Best wishes, Keeep1

Hi Keepy1
Whenever I go to a tribunal with a client, I am not allowed to speak until the end when I am asked if I want to add anything. I was at a Tribunal last Tuesday, I talked about 2 minutes at the start of the hearing and again at the end just to clarify a point. We had to wait for a decision in the post which arrived 3 days later, they were placed in the enhanced group of both components.
The client suffered from severe anxiety, I did ask the client to write an impact statement about how their condition affects them on a daily basis, just in case they could not carry on at the hearing.
