Likelihood of another PIP appeal?

Likelihood of another PIP appeal? was created by Garland
Good morning/afternoon.

I recently received a PIP award (mobility and care), after taking it to Tribunal. The whole process took over 18 months and was very drawn-out, stressful and tiring. Because of how long it all took, it won't be that long before I will need to apply again. Do you think they will put me through the whole process again, seeing as I have a chronic condition and my health is exactly the same, and it will be a relatively short time between the final result and the date for a new application?

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Garland

Unless the tribunal changed the length of your award when they made their decision in your favour, the time will stand.

Oops, I don't think I was clear.

What I meant was if you are put through a lengthy Tribunal process during the first application, which you won, are they likely to make you go through the Tribunal process again when you apply again for PIP? Does the fact that you won the previous time make them less likely to put you through the whole thing again (a year later)?

I know it may be a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question.

Hi Garland.
It was me not you. - sorry about that.

Honestly, it's not a question that can be answered. There are certainly people on the forums who have been through two tribunals. I think, unfortunately, it is down to the luck of the draw.

Yes - they could- I won my first PIP award via two tribunals and an appeal to the UC. I lost my mobility when I was reviewed/reassessed - but I presented the MR with the original tribunal statement from 4 years ago stressing nothing had changed and the DWP reinstated my mobility .

Hi Ellen
I would agree with BIS, I have come across many people who have had to under go numerous tribunals. On the negative side, it is the time it takes to get to a hearing. The only positive out come from this is that for the claimant, it is not so daunting for them second time round as they know the procedure.
