Hi @susan27414 and welcome to the community  

 

This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m hopeful that you’ll find it to be a positive outlet. Feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 I have included below a few of the pages I’d recommend having a look through to get used to things:

• The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
• The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
• The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.

Sorry that your previous assessment wasn't a pleasant experience, hopefully it goes better this time around. My main suggestion would be to make sure you take some notes with you in case at any point you feel as though you are struggling to communicate how your conditions impact you.

You may not be aware that although they tell you that you need to request the Tribunal within 1 month of the date of the decision of the MR, with good reason for a late request you actually have 13 months. You need to tell them why you didn't request it within the first month but you're very unlikely to be refused a hearing because it's outside the 1 month.

I'm surprised the Citizens advice didn't tell you this, rather than start a new claim again.
