A PIP claimant has spoken out about their two-year battle for their money.

After the tribunal win, the now-benefit claimant took to Reddit to urge others to 'never give up'.

They said: "After a gruelling two-year wait, I sat before the panel at my tribunal (DWP was a no-show) and fought for myself and came away with the victory, awarding me standard rate for both components."

Although, despite the successful appeal, the claimant plans to pursue higher-rate mobility another time.

They added, "It wasn't what I was going for, but I’ll take the small victory and pursue a higher rate another time."

"But for now, just knowing that the DWP got it wrong and having the decision overturned is enough. To those going through it, stay strong."
