Only requesting a Paper based pip tribunal?

justmeagain

I know it's always better to take part in person, video or phone, however is it still possible to ask only for a paper based decision? Do I still have the option to change my mind at any stage of the process eg if I asked to appear in person can I change my mind and switch to paper based? I have anxiety that's why I ask....
Thank you for your help xx

YOu can change your mind yes but please be aware that paper based hearings only have between 5-8% success rate which is extremely low. You can ask for a telephone or video hearing, if you'd rather not appear in person. Either of those 3 have around 73% success rate.
