The number of face to face hearings is been greatly reduced because it’s less difficult to co-ordinate remote hearings. Face to face hearings require premises and for all the tribunal members to be there.

There are no statistics I am aware of to suggest that. What is clear is that appearing in person improves your chances compared to paper based decisions. In person encompasses telephone, video and face to face hearings. Asking for a face to face hearing is likely to delay your hearing.

The reason that attending in person improves your chance of success because it provides the tribunal the opportunity to ask you directly about your difficulties and thereby fill in gaps in the paperwork.

The truth is all you can give @weemee. I am wishing you the best of luck with this. Please feel free to let us know how it goes for you.

You have mentioned feeling stressed at the moment. Is there anything that usually helps you when you are feeling stressed?

Even if everybody is the same @weemee, that doesn't take away from your own feelings. I can hear how you are feeling anxious and nervous.

Is it anytime soon? Hopefully, it is so that it is over for you soon and you can, hopefully, feel less anxious and nervous.

Glad you have your grandchildren who help keep you on your toes in the meantime. Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can do anything to support you further

Hi I hope your doing ok, just want to wish you luck with your appeal.

I had one over the telephone in 2020 and it went well, the panel were very nice and courteous.
I received a letter 2 days later from them to tell me I had won.
I had someone from a welfare rights place help me with this, they actually phoned me the day after tribunal to tell me I had won.

So good luck ❤️
