Hi @sam12, they're not as formal as people think, you'll be fine. Will your support worker or social worker be going in to the tribunal with you? It is good to have someone there so you're not alone.

As for what to wear, this is entirely up to you! It's best to dress as you normally would dress.

Hi,

You should wear what you would always wear. Answer those questions honestly. I'm sure there's other that will give advice too about their experiences. Lots of people say it wasn't as scary as they thought.

Do let us know the outcome. Good luck.

Intend to over dress but lawyer said dress comfortable i. Just wear leggings in top though am nervous coming early then expected this should be Nov money for Christmas be great can go Southport am scared to go alone though i should win this

Hi @sam12, I understand how scary these assessments can feel but like Adrian said, they are not as formal as you think. Will your support worker be there with you?

sam12

Okay thanks

What if i need to drain mucus in court which i kant keep in problem

sam12

What triggers mh is it my fault i had it all

Hi @sam12, I understand this is worrying you. If you explain this to your support worker I am sure it will not be a problem.

Struggling with your mental health is not your fault. It can happen because of experiences that we have had or simply because of how our brain is. It's definitely not your fault @sam12.
