Good afternoon, i just wanted to ask i called up the tribunal this afternoon for update on my appeal and the lady said that i was sent a letter on the 5th may inviting me to attend the hearing. i have not received the letter as yet but wanted to know if this is a good sign because it was supposed to be a paper hearing

    Paper hearing success is extremely low, ranging between about 3-8% success rate. If a decision can't be made on paper alone then yes they will ask you to attend the hearing. It doesn't mean anything other than "they've asked you to attend" success rate of those that appear in person is about 70%.
