My request for an appeal postponement has been rejected - where can I go from here?

karenanne

hi ive had my appeal date through, my representative whom was coming with me, is unavailable on 2 days of the week, one being the day of my appeal. so my rep told me to ring the courts and explain, so i did, and the courts told me to put it in writing and will be given to the judge. Ive now had a letter from the courts saying that my request for a postponement has been rejected, myself and my carer are not very good at speaking up for ourselves where can i go from here, please can anyone help or has anyone been in this situation?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi @karenanne,

Welcome to Scope's online community! It's great to have you here.

I'm sorry to hear about the problems you've been having with your appeal. I've moved this discussion to our Ask a Benefits advisor category, where @BenefitsTrainingCo may be able to advise.

Hi @karenanne

The courts ask appellants to advise them in advance of dates they would be unavailable to attend.  Did you do this?
