Failed tribunal

had tribunal 30 may received letter zero points on all. This has been ongoing since December 2016 when I notified my illness had gotten worse. They removed everything and have been fighting since. My doctor wrote a letter about my illness depression FIBROMYALGIA chronic asthma but all the judge was interested in was accidents I had in 2010 car accident and if it had been settled. Not once did they ask how far I could walk even though I use a stick too. To say my depression has plummeted to an all time low still does not describe how I am feeling. I don't know what to do where to turn

Sorry to hear that

Unfortunately, it's always a risk reporting your condition has got worse as assessors take this as an opportunity to decide your condition has got better.
Did you ask tribunal for a statement of reasons?
Are you going to make a new application?
-
A new claim now when the Tribunal gave their verdict of no points a few days ago?
What do you think that the DWP will do? They will almost certainly use that verdict in their decision making on the new claim.
However it may well be the case that some difficulties have arisen that the Tribunal would not have been able to consider?

I am going to ask for a statement of reasons I just can't understand why my accident in 2010 took priority over my health .

To appeal to the Upper Tribunal there must be an error of law made in making the decision. You'll need to find someone that specializes in doing this. It's rare and extremely difficult to find an error of law.You could start another claim but as you've only just lost your Tribunal then a decision may not go in your favour again.
