PIP - could no news be good news? was created by Pam
I lost my DLA after 30 odd years in the transfer to PIP. I have appealed and have been waiting for a tribunal date since about April. I am so anxious I am scared to call them. I have heard the news that 'nobody is going to have money taken away from them.'. Who does that relate to? Does that mean anything in my case? I would appreciate to have your response. Thank you.

There is no reason to worry about phoning the Tribunal Service for an update on when your appeal might be heard.
The article you are referring to was about the DWP reviewing previous awards, it is not relevant your current appeal, but I can tell you, if the Judge of your hearing has concerns about your current award then they must warn you about this so that you can withdraw your appeal.

Many thanks, Gorgon, for your response. So does that mean that no news is good news then?

Providing you are happy that your appeal has been accepted.
Are you making a submission to the appeal?

Hi again Gordon. Many thanks for your prompt response. I don't really understand what you mean. I submitted my appeal April/May last year, with a lot of help from your site, and all I have been told was that I should wait for the tribunal date. I would be grateful if you could clarify what you mean. Thanks, Pam

You have the opportunity to provide more testimony and evidence for the appeal, you do not have to do this if you are happy that what you provided as part of your original claim and MR cover all of the issues, but you should at least consider whether you want to do this.
