I am attending my tribuneral to be put in the esa support group tomorrow at 10.30. It will be held in Chester which is at least and hours drive away. I am in such a state, shaking, tearful and anxious. It has made me even more sleepless and sent my restless legs into overdrive! I've been waiting for this tribuneral for over a year now and it has certainly taken it's toll on my physical and mental health. Debx

    Oh dear, what a long tough time to have waited.. the blasted thing hanging over you is awful, I really hope all goes well, do let us know the outcome. Have you got someone to go with you & all the preparation you can possibly do.. like trying to bear in mind that everything you do must be consistent with what you are claiming (such as if you can't sit comfortably in a certain chair or walk up stairs, don't push yourself to do so or they will assume you can do it ok.. that sort of thing). Very good luck.

    I agree with Debbie, wouldn't it have been better at your home rather than driving for an hour? Surely your G.P or Consultant could have emailed or faxed a letter saying the tribunal was to far away for you to drive? It may have been less worry and pain knowing they where coming to your home. Hope it isn't to stressful for you. Take care and defiantly use your wheelchair.
