PIP Tribunal Pack

Your mandatory reconsideration was refused. This is the pack for the appeal.

Three documents, written from your own account of what you cannot do reliably: a written submission for the First-tier Tribunal, an evidence checklist, and hearing preparation notes. England and Wales. You read and edit every word, and you send it yourself.

General information and document drafting, not legal or benefits advice. Not representation. Not affiliated with DWP or HMCTS.

What the pack is

Three documents, personalised to your appeal, emailed to you as PDFs and plain text.

  • A written submission for the First-tier Tribunal. It takes each activity you are disputing in turn, in descriptor language, and writes your own account against the reliability test: safely, to an acceptable standard, repeatedly, and in a reasonable time. It quotes what the mandatory reconsideration notice said and answers it point by point.
  • An evidence checklist. Mapped to the activities you are disputing, so you can see which documents you already hold, which you can request free, and where a gap sits.
  • Hearing preparation notes. What happens on the day, who is in the room, the kinds of question the panel asks, and how to answer about a bad day and an average day.

Who it is for

  • Your mandatory reconsideration has been refused, or your award was left lower than you think it should be.
  • You are appealing to the First-tier Tribunal in England or Wales, or deciding whether to.
  • You want your own words organised into the structure the panel reads, and you are prepared to send it yourself.

What it is not

  • Not representation. Nobody attends the hearing with you and nobody speaks for you.
  • Not legal or benefits advice. We draft documents and give general information.
  • Not a promise about your appeal. The tribunal decides. We make no claim about what it will decide.
  • Not affiliated with DWP or HMCTS, and we never contact either on your behalf.

How it works

  • You answer the intake, which takes about 10 minutes. You can speak your answers instead of typing them.
  • You see the price before you pay anything.
  • You tick the consent box, pay once, and the pack is written and emailed to you.
  • You read it, edit anything you want to change, and send it to HMCTS yourself.

Price

Start writing my tribunal pack now. I understand this is digital content, and that once it has been generated I lose my 14 day right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Our own promise is better than that right. If the pack is not right, we redraft it. If you want your money back, email hi@finallyseen.org.uk within 180 days and we refund you in full. No conditions, no proof, no questions. Refunds.

The published numbers

67% of PIP appeals decided at a hearing were decided in favour of the appellant (Ministry of Justice, Tribunal Statistics Quarterly, January to March 2026). This is a national rate, not a prediction for your case.

DWP changed the decision before the hearing in 19% of appeals against initial PIP decisions and 45% of appeals against award review decisions (DWP, Personal Independence Payment statistics to April 2026). This is a national rate, not a prediction for your case.

Frequently asked questions

What is in the pack?

Three documents. A written submission for the First-tier Tribunal that takes each activity you are disputing in turn, in descriptor and reliability language, built from your own account. An evidence checklist mapped to those activities. Hearing preparation notes covering what happens on the day and the kinds of question the panel asks.

Is this representation?

No. Nobody from Finally Seen attends the hearing with you, speaks for you, or corresponds with HMCTS or DWP on your behalf. You send the documents yourself and you remain the appellant.

Is this legal or benefits advice?

No. We draft documents from what you tell us and provide general information. For advice on your own appeal, contact Citizens Advice, your local welfare rights service, or a solicitor.

Which nations is it for?

England and Wales. PIP appeals in Scotland and Northern Ireland run through different systems, so we do not sell this pack there.

Is there a money-back promise?

Yes, and there are no conditions on it. If the pack is not right we redraft it. If you want your money back, email hi@finallyseen.org.uk within 180 days and we refund you in full. No conditions, no proof, no questions. Full terms at /refunds.

How long does the intake take?

About 10 minutes. It asks about the mandatory reconsideration notice, the activities you are disputing, what the assessment report got wrong, and whether you have lodged your appeal with HMCTS yet. You can speak your answers instead of typing them.

General information and document drafting, not legal or benefits advice. Finally Seen is not affiliated with DWP or HMCTS and makes no claim about the outcome of any appeal. Check current guidance at gov.uk before sending.
