PIP Tribunal adjourned, help needed

NorthernLightsrainbow

Trying to keep this as short as possible and with as much useful info.

I've had my pip face to face and got awarded points but not enough to claim any pip.
I broke down in the reception waiting room and walked out.
My mum and the receptionist stopped me and was put in a separate room with my mum and the receptionist.
She said I should have not come and requested a Home visit.
I tried and was point blank refused before the face to face :-(

So I went To The next stage of appeal, which came back with the same results as awarded previously (not enough points).

So in the meantime waiting for the tribunal I've got worse.
All this stress and living without any money has made me have thoughts about why am I here.
My mum was worried about this and sent a letter to the courts.

I sent my medical records from when I was 16 and it's has everything in there about the battle I've had.

I had a mental health nurse do home visits and she wrote me a letter to give as evidence which confirmed "Chronic" Agoraphobia, anxiety and depression.

In my notes in my tribunal I stated I couldn't attend as I didn't want to go through what I did at the face to face and that my mum was representing me.

Last week I recieved a phone call saying if I accepted this offer of standard rate daily living and non for mobility they can cancel going to the tribunal and I will get back dated.
I refused this as my mobility is very limited with me not leaving the house.

Fast forwarded 11 months from my original claim from dla to pip and I got a court date which was today.
My mum didn't even get to say hello and was told that it had been ajourned pending medical records from since the last lot I gave them, and that because I wasn't there they will see if I can do it via telephone.
Also that members of the current tribunal are excluded from future involvement in the appeal.

So confused and it's has had a real bad effect on me now with the not knowing and another waiting game.

My medical records from January will show that I've got an enlarged pancreas through drinking and my medication is at the highest possible they will allow me to go.
I was also asked to do another liver test as I've done previous damage from drinking, which I refused as I know the outcome anyway.

Thanks for reading. I'm such a mess!

Your mum would not have been able to represent you at your Tribunal hearing. They will want to hear from you in your own words exactly how your conditions affect you, which will be the reasons they asked for the telephone hearing. The Tribunal will try to avoid a paper based hearing where possible. They will also not be able to take into consideration any worsening of condition since your assessment took place.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply
Kinda makes sense then, I've read that people have been asked for telephone or even Skype in some cases.
