Hi all. im really concerned for my friend as he is a schizophrenic with a clawed hand and he is severely dyslexic and was put into a special needs school because of his dyslexia.
He was initially awarded PIP for 3 years simply based on his PIP application and we provided no evidence other than the assessment paperwork… He was initially refused but won his MR.
Anyway 3 years passed and he was then sent for Review at a CAPITA assessment. An assessment that was completely biased and unfair and awarded him 0 points, Even though hes still got a clawed hand, |Still dyslexic And still suffering with schizophrenia.
We again appeal but this time he was turned down, And we still had not sent any evidence.
We appealed again to goto tribunal.
Now we have all his evidence and paperwork Proving a 25 year mental illness , 15year Clawed hand and 30 years of dyslexia.
The evidence proves beyond doubt that my friend has LONG TERM illness and that he should of been awarded points where due.
Question is.
Do you think he has a good chance at winning the tribunal based on the evidence. The evidence really is Golden.
But is evidence enough for a tribunal.
Also will my friend have to represent himself at the tribunal because hes not the brightest of kids ya know.
Thanks for any advice, Most appreciated.
