Re: Worrying news for ESA claimants converting from DLA to PIP.
The lad has his PIP Tribunal in a couple of hours.
In an old, hot, stuffy building undergoing major refurbishment. Others who have attended there said that sometimes the builders noise drowned-out what was being said, causing confusion and a bit of upset to both sides.
Fingers crossed, it's been a long road to today.

Re: Worrying news for ESA claimants converting from DLA to PIP.
It was obvious they were batting for us by the way they wheedled things out of the lad. But they said they will have to spend time conferring before making a decision that will stand with the DWP.
We have to wait for the brown envelope now.
They didn't seem at all surprised by the blatant lies the assessor put in my son's report. But the chances of getting the assessor reprimanded or worse are zero to bugger all. The DWP have closed ranks.

Re: Worrying news for ESA claimants converting from DLA to PIP.
The Tribunal results have arrived.
From 2 points for daily living and 4 for mobility, therefore no PIP payments, they have awarded 8 points for daily living and 10 for mobility, so Standard Rate for both. Until February 2022.
PHEW!
If anyone else gets screwed by the ATOS-Capita-DWP system for PIP, I wholeheartedly suggest not giving up but forcing a tribunal.
DWP now get the chance to block the tribunal decision.
Arrears should paid to when his DLA stopped (21st February) but Carers Allowance can only be backdated 3 months.

Re: Worrying news for ESA claimants converting from DLA to PIP.
Great news Taff.
Just goes to show that there is a meaningful mechanism to review and correct bad decisions.

Glad to hear it was at least partly successful. My father is waiting for the date of his appeal, the feedback that I got was the assessor was very unprofessional kept tapping his foot and just seemed to want the meeting over with.
My dad was so upset he wasn't going to appeal, but the fact that his condition was treatable if he hadn't been dealt with by a bungling NHS doctor (with lots of history of it) and his doctor writing to DVLA to take away his PSV licence has made him angry enough to appeal.
He was also upset when recently another retired couple he knows have had their assessment and kept their DLA, this couple spend most of the year at their villa in Spain (my father couldn't make that trip). Recently this couple were showing pictures of themselves at the top of Pen y fan, my father wouldn't be able to walk the length of the car park!
