tribunal tomorrow

Hi rachel and welcome

The tribunal can only consider how you were at the time of the decision, they cannot take into account any new conditions
It is best not to mention any new conditions but if you are unhappy with the result you can use them for a change of circumstance if you receive an award or a new claim if you don't

I wish you the best of luck

Hi @rachel25

Ive recently had mine too and they kept focussing on what I was like at the date of the claim 

However they could clearly see I was uncomfortable and distressed so if you end up in tears you're only human and I'm sure they are used to the avoidable stress each claimant has gone through 

3 mature men were questioning me and were very respectful however the one man I did not expect to question me most was the disability man 

Just be as honest as you can but you may want to make notes - I forgot things I wanted to say bc I had already given permission for someone to speak on my behalf but they insisted I answered which upset me so I am still dwelling on questions and answers bc I was emotional throughout the whole thing 

I hope you have good representation or request an adjournment so you can get the right help and support bc it will make a difference 

I hope you share your experience too bc it helps others to know what to expect 

Best of luck for tomorrow and your health in future
