I'm so pleased you got good news! PIP can be a nightmare to deal with. Mine was stopped on the 11th of January, of course my mandatory reconsideration was failed...been waiting ever since for a tribunal date i've not even heard back from them regarding the mobility element I should have been entitled to the first time I was assessed and awarded that they said they were going to review. I really should chase them up but I haven't worked up the courage yet, having to go to court is going to be terrifying.
Please seek advice from somewhere. If you have a benefits specialist locally at an advice agency though they are few and far between these days with funding thin on the ground. If not then citizens advice who may, or may not, have a specialist there will be able to help. At the end of the day it's not like the courts you see on TV or anything and you will have a panel of 3 people who just want to understand your application, condition and how it affects you. Most people that I have spoken to have been very surprised about how kind, caring and understanding the panel is. At least one of them will be a disability expert
