Hi @VET505. I'm so pleased you finally have your date! What a wait.
I've been to tribunal and was successful. For me, it was the 'nicest' part of the process, for want of a better word. I was incredibly anxious but I felt heard and I knew there was a medical professional who could understand what I was saying. They asked a lot of questions but it's just so they fully understand how you're affected in your daily life. Have you got someone to be there with you? I had my husband and I did it via video call.

Thanks for the reply yes I have a supportive partner but I don’t know if to take her I’ve got to actually go in person, how long did it last and how long after go you find out the result? Thanks
