    Good luck @shayjay let us know how you get on!

    @dannymanutd - the advice simply says:
    Bring along all relevant documents that you have, including medical evidence and anything related to your original claim or appeal. It’s also a good idea to take notes of what you want to say that you can refer to in order to get your point across.

    There is more information here.

They want me to bring my son who has ADHD , Asperger and a servers language disorder , into court and speak for himself !!!! Well that's just !!!!! What do you say , it's going to be very upsetting for him . Can't wait !! ?

    As it's your son's claim and not yours was there any reason why you went alone, rather than taking him? They will need to see him for theirselves and for him to speak for himself so they know how his conditions affect him.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    That's not entirely the case. My wife had an AA appeal and as she was unable to get around very much I went on her behalf. They certainly tried the appeal with just me being there. Didn't help though as I was branded not credible with my answers - obviously I couldn't answer a lot of what they asked.
