Hi, can anyone help me, I appealed the decsion for the original decsion PIP made regarding my benefits twice as they came back no?  Also I thought when I went to the interview originally that the lady whom interviewed me was a Doctor, trust me from reading all about it, found they are only nurses, also were not specialised at all in my current illness, never really red all the Doctors Documents, came back with - o's, went to tribunal, was very relaxed, 2 Doctors and a Judge, they decided to give me 12 points, wanted to say everyone the system is weird, so the tribunal - is a good thing?  But, been two weeks, have not heard anything from PIP, so contacted them, any they can from what I gather not agree with the tribunal, also it's up to them when they want to contact me, could be November, they said this morning, think there a little angry due to the outcome of the interview, and the Judge/Doctors completely believed they were in the wrong. Is anyone in the same position as me? As desperate to know how long I may have to wait?  Thanks
