PIP APPEAL WON

cat6873

I had my PIP hearing this afternoon and from 11 points for daily living and 4 points for mobility I've gone up to 19 points and 10 points respectively so enhanced and standard, which I didn't expect! The panel was very nice and compassionate and I was so relieved that I cried. Right now I'm over the moon with backdated payments from January 2018. Please people don't give up. It's worth to go to the tribunal...just be yourselves and tell them how you feel.

The stats show that appeal are successful in about 71% of cases - approx. 19% fail.

What would be interesting to learn is why do 19% fail. Is it because there is no basis of an award or maybe something else.

Also I believe that the figure of successes is only relevant if you are professionally represented - those that go alone having had no advice or are receiving no representation only about 51% win.

The Judge told me I will receive my backdated payments probably after Christmas so I'll wait. In regards of other benefits I don't really know but I'm sure someone with more expertise will have an answer

And also you will receive your backdated payments separate from your monthly payment
