Happy Tears pt. 2

Following my successful MR for ESA, this week brings more good news.

I had my PIP tribunal earlier this week and as I did not receive my decision there and then, I needed to wait. I hated my tribunal - my friend who came with me thought I'd pass out at one point. So waiting wasn't ideal.

Anyway, the tribunal awarded me 9 points in addition to the 2 points I already had for daily (taking me to 11) and 10 for mobility after a DWP score of 0. The award is until 2021. CAB had asked for enhanced daily and standard mobility.

There is only one thing that is an issue is, as underlined above, I went into the tribunal with 2 points and the judge acknowledged them and the fact I did not dispute them. As a result, she said we would not discuss them. However, the decision letter makes no reference to exisiting points. CAB say this is a problem and asked me to contact the Tribunal service to reissue the decision acknowledging my existing points. When I did they said I would have to write in as it needs to be taking back to the Judge.

But right now, I'm just going to bathe in the joy that my ill health has been acknowledged. The rest can wait a day.
