I received my “0 point “ award letter and sent back a mandatory reconsideration that returned with the same outcome . 
I intend to appeal , however I will not be able to attend the tribunal as I just couldn’t for a number of emotional reasons . 
Doea anyone have any advice ? Or been in the same situation that could offer me some support ? Many thanks

Hello @bcp268 Pleased to meet you welcome.

Thank you for joining and sharing.  I am one of the team of community champions. Who advise and help new members who join.

In response to your question. I know many members of our community find it difficult to cope with. Attending assessments, tribunals.

Do you have a friend who can help on the day? Be in attendance and support you.

If you are unable to attend the hearing in person .  Then you can request what is known as a paper hearing. Where only written evidence is considered by the tribunal in private.

With out you or any support you may have present.

Hope that helps.

Have you spoken to CAB for advice and support.

Please also can I add there will be members of our team or community be able to advise you further. Might be in touch.

Please take care.

If like me you are seeing a psychiatrist ask him to put you in touch with  the out patient  support office ,( it may be under a different name in other counties )
They did all my paper work and took me to my appeal ,with the help they gave me I won ,
Hope this helps
