    Thank you mikehughescq, my friend and carer is taking me and coming with me. The problem is I don’t know what question will be asked so not sure what to write as possible replies! I’m so worried I just want to cancel but my G.P and family say I should go. Seem to be consumed with over thinking about it I just want to sleep

    Not sure what you mean, which am I in?.
    iv stated in appeal papers I need my friend in case I cannot talk but will let them know when I arrive. 
    Iv spent much of this week going round in circles. The DWP appeal papers, the big brown envelope, are too much to take in, can’t even remember what I write on here. Will just have to try and write down answers of what things they might ask.
    why does this have to be so hard when getting up is a massive task

    There is one close to me but only open on a Tuesday and Thursday! Looks like I will just have to get it over with on Monday and hope for the best. Will try and write what deciphers I feel are incorrect

    Sorry I thought I’d replied, yes there’s one near me will talk to family and carer asap. Thanks for your message I didn’t know the Fife Law Centre helped, hadn’t heard of them before. Greatly appreciated
