Tribunal

I awaiting a date for PIP Tribunal. I have contacted CAB and signed a consent form for them to represent me. I think I have to wait until I have date before I speak to them again.

Do I in the meantime get a more comprehensive report from my GP stating all my medical conditions and current treatments. The one the DWP got from GP only had one of my conditions and even then the doctor stated I was awaiting a consult with surgeon at hospital and could not comment fully on it.

I have now seen the surgeon and had a CT scan done and have to wait for the results. Which will show whether there is problems with the mesh from previous surgery or whether I have another abdominal hernia. Either of these means a complicated surgery. This will go to show why I cannot walk to far...less than 200 yards without stopping to rest. At the moment I am lucky to walk 50 yards without extreme pain and fatigue. This also goes to show that I cannot manage to carry pots and pans in Kitchen. Or carry shopping.

I mentioned to surgeon about needing a report for Tribunal,,, I should be able to get one when a diagnosis has been made. Should I or can I ask for copy of CT report ?

Also waiting on appointment for my vertigo at ENT... my PIP assessment seems to have been based on my vertigo (which the assessor had no knowledge off. Assumed I should be dizzy all the time) I did fully explain my type of vertigo to the HP. Now I have finally got a copy of the report, I can see that I was not been listen to with regards to day to my day life.



Question is can I submit reports from GP, surgeon and from ENT consult ?

thank you. I am sure that as my GP put in report that the DWP requested that my surgeon's report is a relevant to my case. Also the HP said I already had treatment for my vertigo by my doctor called the Epley Manouvre which I told the HP was to be done at hospital at ENT. she wrote I had already had it so I think ENT report will also be acceptable.
