Well I had difficulty with writing my diaries for HMCS and now it is too late,a letter from HMCS arrived this morning,it is probably the date for tribunal but at the moment i am too scared to open it.i know it will upset me -it already has ,i am in tears now at the thought of going through the whole ordeal ,I know i cant go through it on my own and Age UK sad they could attend with me as the CAB no longer receive funding but will i be able to give them enough notice .and they will attend with me but wont necessarily speak for me.I dont have anyone else to turn to

I think you will have plenty of time to arrange someone to support you. The waiting time for tribunal hearings is long in most areas. Open the letter I’m sure it will put your mind at ease & give you plenty of time to arrange something.

Brown envelopes can be the bearers of both good and bad news either way we don't know till we open them. I always take the view it maybe an inconvenience having to attend another acessment or fill another form but as I have nothing to hide like your selves, we never give or gave or falsely given evidence about my, our conditions or claims. We have to accept that these envelops will continue to drop on the door Matt for as long as we are benefit claimants

i dont understand this.I finally plucked up courage to open it-it was a letter bthat said "about my appeal -see the attached directions from the judge"
which were First Tier Tribunal
social entitlement chamber
Held at newcastle on 12/5
the tribunal directs
1 the DWP to provide within 21 days of these directions a copy of the appellants most recent DLA award together with the Health Care Professionals assessment and any other evidence used in making the decision to award DLA.
confused by this as DLA was awarded indefinitely in 1998.does the HCP mean the assessor who did the assessment for PIP last august or my doctor at the time DLA was awarded
