    Hello,
    I am currently waiting for my PIP Tribunal (since December 2022), and I have noticed that are various lies and discrepancies in the DWP's evidence, particularly the altering of medical letters, which I've highlighted to the Tribunal panel in writing. Will this count for a lot when the judge hears my case? 
          Most probably not. 


         You need to explain in your submission how and why you meet the PIP criteria, and detail why the requisite points should have been scored.

    (Do you mean altering or interpretation) ?

    As do I.

    They might have spun it to back up a rejection, but tampering with evidence, I just can't see it
    If its medical evidence sent in by the claimant or a GP then its impossible to alter anything. Once scanned onto the system, the scanned item becomes read only and cannot be tampered with.
