Hello, looking for others experience,

I have my tribunal for Adult disability payment on Wednesday this week. Its a paper hearing and in social security scotland response to my appeal they are advising the tribunal to find me eligible for Adult disability at the standard rate for care. They awarded me 7 points at re determination but when they responded to tribunal about my appeal state I should have had 9.

Is tribunal likely to follow and award me??

Thanks

Sorry I'm not the best at explaining things. But basically social security scotland are inviting the tribunal to award me

Heya @seanh634 and welcome to the community. 😁

Well that sounds like very good news if SSS are basically admitting defeat! If they've said "give them the benefit" then the tribunal will often leave it at that.

Though if there's a chance of you being awarded more points, they'll usually give you the option of taking the 9 points, or continuing to the tribunal, which can often be worth it.

Perfect, thankyou for your reply its been 1 year since I initially applied for ADP. So very stressful and long time but the tribunal is hearing my case on Wednesday so it has been taken as far as tribunal but I am happy with the 9 points as that's what I was expecting ever since I applied. So I'm kind of hoping come Wednesday the tribunal follow the recommendation from SSS and award me now.
