Well tribunal day is nearly upon me... I feel so sick right now and all because of the thought of being interrigated by two so called professionals and made to look like a second class citizen... I have some prep todo tonight ie making notes as my memory is shot. :???:
Does the tribunal panel tell you the outcome that day or do you have to wait for a letter :?:
Im dreading this tribunal sooo much....
I aslo got a letter yesterday from the house of commons.... I got my MP involved with the DLA / ESA application. He has sent a letter to the Jobcentre PLus manager to find out what is going on. It would have been nice to have seen the managers face when they got the letter, but then again they might be use to getting letters from MP's

Not gone through the process myself, just wanted to wish you luck for tomorrow. You've done everything you could, it's only to be expected that you will be nervous. Deep breaths and remember we are backing you all the way hugs xxx

When my friend attended her tribunal to re-instate DLA, she was interviewed by a GP, a solicitor and I think, a lady who worked with Disabled people. After the discussions, they asked her to wait outside the room and then called her back in after they had made their decision and she won.
Not sure if all areas of the country will be the same though and it was a few years ago now.
Good Luck
Hope it goes well.

I had written a BRILLIANT reply but clashed with someone else so it got lost. (forum techies l dont care if someone else has posted while l am posting just that it doesn't cause me to inadvertantly loose my reply which took me AGES to construct
I am hoping for and expecting a good outcome for you today and hope you will have time to let us know how you got on.
As far as the jobcentre and the MP's letter are concerned l have no idea how many they receive, but when l was a social worker we used to get letters called them 'member enquiries' and we DId jump to and teh file was pulled and throroughly looked into before a response was given to the MP.
I hope it is the same there, but of course they may have many many complaints.
Good luck
Thinking of you

You shouldn't have to be doing this....... its all so stupid and wrong! That's not helping you though but I do hope it was ok and they haven't hurt you making you jump through hoops. Cris x
Sorry, off topic but
Toni - interesting what you said about involving MPs - was debating this over tackling lack of funding for S ... this makes me feel I should not hold back, but go ahead and involve MP!!

I too am late getting here, I only joined yesterday. I hope your tribunal was not too traumatic and you got a positive result.
Best wishes
