    It's worth remembering that it's not a court and you're not on trial. Some hearings are held in court buidlings but it's completely different to a court.

    You can also get some expert advice from an agency near you. https://advicelocal.uk/welfare-benefits

    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.

    PTSD, which apparently I don't have because I wash.  Low Mobility, arthritis in ankles, smashed feet in accident. Apparently I am fully able and the report focused on my weight.  Other health issues that have deteriorated since I first claimed in 2019 but the report which I have now just got said I was to be reassessed only after 5 years.  Just found out it is a telephone 'court' date I have.
