I attended my tribunal hearing in person after applying for PIP and being denied at both the assessment and mandatory reconsideration stages. There was another person attending their PIP tribunal before me, and the panel called them back in after discussion to let them know the outcome (they've awarded PIP). However, during my tribunal they said they'd let me know by letter in 6-8 weeks. I wasn't offered the chance to say anything else after they'd asked their questions of me either. Does anyone have any comment on this? I am obviously anxious as to they the person that went in before me was told the outcome on the day, but I wasn't. Any thoughts are appreciated!
I can't tell you what it means because, in my experience, panels are inconsistent. Some people find out on the day they have been successful, and some people find they haven't been. Others find out they have won by letter, and others find out they have lost by letter.
I'm sorry that you have to wait. I can only hope that you hear more quickly than they have said.
