Hi all recieved a date for my esa appeal. Can't help but feel a little daunted. Keep looking through the bundle of papers from dwp and can't believe the lies. I'm not sure where to begin with it all I can't get an advisor to come with an can't afford legal services. I have seen somewhere an example bundle where an advisor has used highlighter pens to make information stand out(I presume) has any body had an advisor do this and say why and has it helped. I'm going it alone and need to be well preoared

Hi,As you've now got a date, you're leaving all of this a little late. It would have been much better if you had tried to get a representative much earlier on, as waiting times for Tribunals are huge. This would have given you plenty of time to prepare for the hearing. You need to forget about the lies that were told and concentrate on which group you think you should be in, your reasons why and the evidence to support your claim. Good luck.

Hi poppy and thanks for the information. Unfortunately where I live there is only cab for a couple of hours once a week. So getting an appointment is really difficult. I know I have left it late. All evidence has been submitted had a brief letter from my doctor who was not at all happy to write one. I saw online a while back that someone displayed a sample of an advisor using highlighters to information. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light?
