Tribunal. Am I right in thinking it won't go directly to court? Could the DWP change their minds?

So looks like I'm going to tribunal after my recent unsuccessful MR. I'm wondering for those of you that have gone through the same am I right in thinking it won't go directly to court? Could the court decide they think they have enough to go on and alow the overturn or could the dwp acualy change thier minds? I have been to a couple of esa tribunals one of wich I was successful the other not would just be good to know what to expect also my original form for pip I dont even have a copy of and can't remember what I said (going through a rouf patch at the time) so im worrying incase all of that also goes against me

It's not a court, it's a Tribunal, they are two completely different things. Sometimes hearings are held in a court building but it's nothing like a court.Sometimes people are offered awards before the hearing takes place but you should expect the hearing, this way it won't be too much of a shock if you don't have an offer.You will eventually receive the "bundle" which will contain everything you sent, including the PIP2 form.If you can get represenation then even better. Here's the link which was posted in your other thread. https://advicelocal.uk/
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. -

At the moment most Tribunal hearings are done through telephone and have been this way since the start of the pandemic.Having representation means they will present your case but you will still need to speak for yourself on the day of the hearing. Even with in person hearings they will attend with you but never speak for you. The only person that knows how your conditions affect you is yourself.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.
