I've got a pip telephone tribunal on 20th April (3 days time) I'm having this as I was required to turn up to the tribunal but wrote a letter to the judge stating that I refuse to go as I am quite unstable mentally and am extremely violent so I would kick off at the tribunal because of the assessor's lies and when I'm angry I swear like mad and so if I went I would deliberately get a fail because of my behaviour and also security would be called in leading to my arrest all because they told me to go. So I got a phone tribunal. What I want someone to tell me is what are my chances of winning as I will swear my head off on the phone (which I told them in my letter) they say they accept my medical conditions they are just in 2 minds about what the assessor wrote and what I said she lied about. They have had the same statement in every case that the assessor lied so why won't they believe me. Here's an example of what happened.... I'm type 1 diabetic insulin shots, and I have an eating disorder (borderline anorexic) and I basically live on lucozade to keep my blood sugar up, and she wrote I don't eat cos I don't want to and drink lucozade cos I like it!! Another was I got very mouthy swearing at her cos she wouldn't look at what was wrong with me and my meds said she's not allowed to look at them so I yelled at her... "how you supposed to write an honest report on me if you don't even know my conditions"
And she said she would stop the interview if I didn't calm down, but put in her report that I was calm and she built up a rapor with me. I didn't move off the chair except to stand up as my legs were hurting due to peripheral neuropathy in my legs and she said I can walk 200m. It was a farce and the judges have a prob believing her or me. I think they will fail me cos I've been waiting 19 months and if I succeed they will owe me about £7,500. What chance do I have of winning, what will happen over the phone, will they fail me cos of my foul mouth, please give me some advice as a matter of urgency. Got 3 days to go.
Thanks for reading

I would write a short statement about your problems, no more than a couple of sentences with an apology at the end, when the call starts ask if you can read it out. This way they will be prepared for any outbursts that you have and I would not expect your problems to impact on your appeal, after all they are a reflection of your conditions.

Hi Gordon
Thanks for the rapid reply it was much appreciated.
Can you pls tell me (if you have any idea) what kind of questions they will ask me, I'm a bag of nerves I just can't see how I will have any chance at all of winning by them doing it over the phone??? What will they ask me? Have you heard off any members that have had a phone tribunal?
Will await your response.
Thanks
Allen

I can't tell you what they will ask, only that it will be about your problems with completing the PIP activities.

If you want an idea of how a Tribunal operates then have a look at the following video, it's for ESA so there will be some differences and obviously the claimant has attended but it will give you an idea of the format.
