Hi all, I just wamted to say that I am waiting for a PIP Tribunal which I bet will not happen for abother 8 months (been waiting 2 months so far) so, in short my GP has told me that PIP have never contacted him for a report, so I was wondering if I can get my GP to write a letter to the Tribunal service that I will forward from him to them. My assessment was a nightmare, the typical lying assessor that until recently I have found out that she has had many more complaints about her, the assessor. Anyhow, I have a Physiopherapists letter, an extensive GP's letter, a letter from my old surgeon and all my medical history to forward as evidence for the Tribunal service when I have to go. Question is, could it be thrown out in my favour as is it law that the DWP/PIP HAVE! to get a GP's report? They are ONLY going by a liying, cheating ATOS assessor. They even stopped my DLA that I was getting as they lost my 1st letter was lost, the 2nd letter necver got to me then the 3rd letter was too late getting to them, as they stated it was "my fault" anyway,

    Got my decision, I got 8 points in the mobility module and only 6 in the care component, not the end of the world I guess.

      If you are thinking of putting in for a further request the CAB told me that if you do and you have no evidence to say that you have deteriorated you will not be taken seriously.

      I see, I have not gone that far yet, well, my care concerns, 4 of them are undiognosed still, so maybe when they are I may call PIP and ask, tell them that I want to try for the care component again. But if I was denied this, could I end up losing my mobility? Without a appeal? As it had already gone to a tribunal to get this decision.

      Challenging the decision of the tribunal isn't easy. You can only do this if an error inlaw has been made when making the decision. You would first have to ask the tribunal for the statement of reasons.

      With PIP it's not really about a diagnosis it's about how your conditions affect you in daily life. You're award will be reviewed at some point in the future depending on how long your award is for. If before this you're condition gets worse you can ring PIP and tell them. They will send you more forms. Personnally i would wait until your review date which is always 1 year before it's due to end. Yes it's always possible to lose everything or have your award increased at a review or even if you tell them about any changes. My PIP was reviewed not long ago and my mobility part was increased to Enhanced with daily living staying the same with Standard.
