Ive been diagnosed with PTSD, severe Anxiety and Depression . I also suffer with the discs in my lower spine . Ive recently been housed in Chelmsford to have some support from my Family and Friends.... 

Im waiting for my support from Mentle Health to help me . I stay in my home as I have Anxiety and P.T.S.D witch triggers when I leave my home . 
Im I am trying to appeal my P.I.P claim , and Im so anxious that Im not going to be able to go to the appeal !? 
Thanks for taking the time to read this .

Hi @hayley67



You can choose to go to the hearing. This is called an Oral Hearing.You can choose not to go to the hearing. This is called a Paper Hearing.In very exceptional cases an 'Out of Centre' hearing can be arranged.You can claim reasonable travelling expenses if you go to the hearing.
There is more information about PIP appeals here.
