Got called back in with my winning letter and run down pip judge was excellent and the people with her I was dreading it

Yep twice to tribunal, first time 2 years after my husbands accident as kept loosing jobs due to cognitive impairment. Job he had held down for nearly 30 years before accident! He scored 0 at assessment, just couldn't believe what I was reading when decision came back from assessment according to him my husband could do everything flipping lies, went to tribunal increased to 2 but told sympathies but doesn't meet criteria. Second time last year same came back score 4 then went to tribunal scored 6 so didn't get Pip. His welfare officer couldn't believe it he sent for statement of reasons but told us once he seen it not enough to take it to High Court for Appeal.

Went on to say could reapply in 6 months which was February

Nah no chance not putting my husband or myself through that again....
