    Have represented in the high hundreds. Observed at low hundreds when training others to represent. Know a bad tribunal when I see one. There are indeed rogue tribunal members but most are fine and most issues occur because of unprepared appellants. 

    A small number have posted on the forum saying they had a bad experience. There is another thread on here currently live where a number of people say the exact opposite. The experience IS variable but claimants contribute to that as much as tribunals. 
    And in my wife's AA appeal I was asked by the doctor what would I do if my wife's pain medication (Oramorph) had run out and she was in agony? Weird question I thought.

    But I answered it saying that I was also prescribed the same medication (Oramorph) and by greater volume so I would give her some of mine until her pain subsided.

    That's when all hell broke loose and I was told to leave the room. Being invited back in 5mins later the doctor accused me of being a drug dealer. I countered that I would never given the circumstances he had outlined leave my wife in pain so presumed that he would..

    A few minutes later a few more comments/answers from me I was told to leave permanently.

    It’s absolutely disgusting the way we are treated. I for one am not giving up I will be requesting a statement of reason for higher tribunal.

    Sure is stressful and causes more anxiety for us.
