Got my tribunal tomorrow. Mum's going to be looking after Harry and my Dad is coming with me to help me fight my case and to help me get to the building as parking is miles away and up hill.

I'll be going in my wheelchair and got my case all sorted (thanks to my Dad). I'm a bit nervous as I've never been in front of a judge before.

In a really good way I feel really awful so they should be able to see what the RA and Fibro does. Fingers crossed!

I'll let you know how I get on (I think if it doesn't going to go my way my Dad will have a tantrum! Great Fun!).

    Really, really good luck tomorrow. They will definitely be able to see how unwell you are. Glad you have your Dad with you for moral support and tantrum throwing if needed!

    Will be thinking of you.

    Wishing you all the best for your tribunal tomorrow. How typical that the car parking is miles away and involves hills!! (That is probably part of the judgement.)

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    I have just noticed this after starting my own thread, I have my DLA tribunal tomorrow.

    I know exactly how you feel at the moment, I have also done my prep & I am taking my OH along.

    Wishing you the very best of luck.

    good luck today will be thinking of you.
    Taking your dad with you is a good move back up if you need it and another person to witness what was said and what is on report. I had my medical recently and arthur was playing up so the doc could see how bad my hands were never mind the rest of me. Tell them how arthur controls your life. all the best Fay
