HI,Is there anyone else that can go with you, a friend maybe? Paper based decisions for Tribunals only have a 5-8% success rate.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Have you a Social Worker? Bit late now but I’d call and explain how unsupported you are. Good luck.
