A reason why so many are failing to be awarded PIP before tribunals.... and I experienced this sort of thing first hand. They are now refusing to send me a copy of the Capita assssor's report to take apart in the upcoming tribunal.

You can ask for a copy of the report, but you have to ask the DWP. Is that where you went wrong? A copy of the report is included as part of the DWP submission to the Tribunal, and therefore you will get a copy before then. Not sure the Tribunal can even go ahead without it.

The proposed PIP change is NOT a change. It clarifying and enforcing how it has been applied in the past, even with DLA.

Usual nonsense. Informal observations have ALWAYS been part of the process, whether DLA, PIP, IB, ESA etc. The process as set out by the DWP, tells them they have to look at the claim BEFORE they've seen the person. That is how they know what questions that might need asking and those that do not.
