PIP Appeal Advice

I am appealing a PIP decision at the Tribunal level, and I have read with great interest your document "The Best Possible Challenge To A Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Decision - A Guide To Mandatory Reconsiderations and Appeals"

On Pages 14 and 15, the document suggests we look through the ftf medical assessment and the DM's decision, and I am doing so. My question is, is this with a view to dissecting everything they said wrong at the Tribunal? Or do we adopt the simple approach and just say how the condition affects me? For example, the HCP and DM both mention that the HCP took me through a 'typical day' at the interview; in actual fact, she did nothing of the sort. And the DM has said in response to that that if my recollection of events at the interview was different, then I need to "...contact the Health Care provider directly". Really? The entire DM response is (almost rudely) dismissive of every claim I make in my Appeal. How do we fight against such caustic lies, mistreatment and bad behaviour? I don't even know where to begin!

Thanks Gordon Please can you clarify what you meant by that last sentence: "don't try and do this head on as you are unlikely to be successful." - what do you mean by doing it head on, please?

That makes sense, thanks Gordon; I will be able to adapt that example to my own situation. Cheers

Thanks Gordon, that makes sense!

Can I also ask, when I have done these two tasks, do I then send my conclusions through to the Tribunals Service as something for them to peruse before my hearing? I also have a further piece of testimonial evidence on the impact of my condition; can I send that to the Tribunal also?

Thanks again
