    Hi tinky and welcome

    Have you asked for a mandatory reconsideration ?
    Have you asked for a copy of the assessment report ?

    Tribunals do not have to be scary, but it is always best to know how the process works leading up to the hearing.

    So having been through assessment and MR you still do not have the award you deserve, the next step is to appeal to the independant tribunal.

    If at all possible get f2f advice from CAB or similar

    The first stage is to submit form SSCS1

     https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/689021/sscs1-eng.pdf

    Fill in all sections of the form, at this stage you do not need to go into great detail, just the basic reasons for your appeal are sufficient. A more detailed submission should be done later.

    It is always advisable to attend in person. Success rate is around 69%

    You will then receive an acceptance letter from the tribunal

    The DWP then have 28 days to prepare and submit their case and all the paperwork and evidence used in making their decision.

    You will be sent a copy of this, known as the bundle.

    Check that all your submitted evidence is included

    Using the bundle now is the time to prepare your own submission referencing by page and paragraph where the evidence proves that you meet the descriptor and criteria for an award

    You do not need further evidence to appeal but any new relevant evidence will help.

    It can help to keep and submit a daily diary of how your functionality is affected

    She also said he made eye contact which he may have a bit and was not anxious. No he wasnt because i prepared him for what was going to happen which as we all know is how you work with autistic kids. Im a qualified teaching assistant. Next time if i take him i wont bother and let him have a meltdown.
