    Are you aware that you can ask for a telephone hearing rather than appear in person? There's a very low success rate for paper based hearings, with only about 5-8% success rate.

    That success rate jumps up to about 70% with either a telephone, video or appearing in person. Its always in your best interests to appear because they always want to hear it from you exactly how your conditions affect you.

    As it's a paper based hearing a decision may not be made on the date they gave you.
