Have you requested the Mandatory Reconsideration yet? If not then you need to do that first before you can request the Tribunal. You have 13 months to request this but you need to tell them why you didn't request it within the first month.

Regarding the security guard, they usually wear the protective vests at a job centre. It's not because of you in general, it's for their safety from everyone.

If you were found fit for work then another fit note for the same condition you previously used will not be accepted unless it's for a significantly worsening of condition or for a different condition. The only problem with this, is it will start the whole process all over again. The best thing to do is challenge your first decision.

Going through the process again could see you being found fit for work if you use the same evidence you previously used. A lot of the time it’s better to take it to Tribunal.

I hope the forum has been helpful and reassuring for you, as I know going to the job centre is never an easy thing.
