Good morning. 

Seeking advice! 
What shall I wear to a tribunal? My normal clothes are tracksuit bottoms and a top or hoodie. 
This is clothes that allows me to be comfort and not restrict my movement when dealing with my daughter who has many disabilities and sensory overloads . 
I’m in tribunal against DWP for my daughters DLA . 
Any advice would be great .

    Hi and welcome to the community 

    You don't need to wear anything special just wear what you would normally wear to be comfortable 

    Joggers and hoodie are fine they don't expect you to dress in any given way

    Hello @cornishmummy

    Whatever you feel comfortable in :)

    When are you scheduled to go to Tribunal? How are you feeling about it?

    my hearing is Monday late afternoon so hope this isn’t a bad sign with it being a late in the day appearance. 

    I am actually very nervous even though I had all my paperwork in order and evidence that I need to prove my child should get the rate I’m asking for. 
    Still don’t stop me being scared as this decision literally can change my daughters life over night . No pressure on me !

    The time of day the hearing is taking place has no relevance to any potential outcome.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    @cornishmummy I'd take it as a good sign, they would have had lunch! lol 

    You'll do fantastic, you're organised and you know your child, they don't. I'm keeping everything crossed for you!
