Hi, my name is karen19862! I am due a phone tribunal next week

karen19862

Right so I've received the paperwork back from the courts.

They have put in the report that I cannot wash my hair.or wash below the waist. I'm lost at this because this was not mentioned in any of my bundle nor was it mentioned on the day. It was upper that was discussed at length.

The doctor has also said that I would be able to dress myself if I bought the appropriate clothing.

They have also said I use an aid or appliance for cooking, again this is not mentioned in my bundle nor was it mentioned at the hearing.

I'm stunned to be honest

You need to request the Statement of Reasons and Record of Proceedings because they will go into a lot more detail. You have 1 month to request those.

Yes I've requested them. I'm shocked at they could write something that was never said.

And to tell me to buy easier clothing too.

The mind boggles

Hi me again.

I did receive my statement of reasons and also requested my recordings. The statement of reasons confirms that they used my lwca assessment from 2 years ago during the tribunal. No medical records were mentioned or any support letters were used in this report. Apparently they are now saying this wasn't recorded yet I requested them via the court tribunal site.

Anyway I have re applied using current medical notes and recent mri and physio information I have gone into every descriptor with great detail but if this fails again I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

I've not been able to work for the past 3 years but previous to this I had worked full time for 35 years . It's so soul destroying when your life is an utter mess.

Fingers crossed now.

It's only been 4 weeks since they received my new claim so I'm expecting the long haul yet again.

Anyone else list tribunal and then been successful.

Sorry to hear that things didn't go your way @karen19862, fingers crossed this new claim is taken seriously and you get the result you're hoping for. It can be a really draining process and I can imagine you're pretty tired of it by now! Hope you're not waiting too much longer to hear back.

Thank you Rosie, set me back quite a bit but will see what happens. I've not heard anything since they received my forms back but they have everything already plus new information let's see which they use.

I have just had my assessment today with maximus not capita and must admit she was really pleasant. Not holding my breath this time as it's already been received by DWP.

Didn't go into loads of the descriptors just how my life is but I must say she was a lot nicer than some I've had.

That's good to hear @karen19862, keeping everything crossed for a positive result!
