This post is from me and Paul W. We went to Paul's PIP Tribunal this week, he won the appeal and was given the maximum award. Capita and the DWP had given him 1 point, the Tribunal gave him 15 points for Daily Living and 12 points for mobility........
Paul spent the Hearing in a private room, on oxygen, having a full on Cluster Attack. The Tribunal went to the room to see him rather than expose him to the lighting in the courtroom.
Paul really hopes this news will encourage other chronic sufferers not to be deterred from pursuing what they are entitled to!

Harriet & Paul...This is fantastic news...everyone should fight for what CCH'rs deserve and be willing to carry on until they get the correct result.
Thanks to Harriet's help and wonderful support, many of us are making the system take note of our disability.
