Thank you for sharing this with us and I'm so sorry to hear about your past experiences, it sounds like you've been through some really traumatic things. Glad to hear that you're reapplying and have some legal support. I'm sure our community members will be able to offer some help and reassurance if you feel you need it, so please do let us know if you have any questions.
You can take a companion to the face to face but they would ordinarily expect you to speak for yourself.
Good Evening & Welcome!!!!
How are things currently???
Sorry for another question just trying to get a baseline.
Can I please offer my “help & support”
Ordinarily an upper tribunal would not be an oral hearing and would be one judge sitting alone. It would only happen if you’d lost the first tier tribunal and had then appealed to UT an a point of law. Is that what happened?
