    Hi @lisa1972 I am jumping in this post because I would also like some advice on preparing for my tribuneral. Is there anything we can do in the build up, ie send in extra evidence and other people have asked me about descriptors. Do the tribuneral ask these questions when your in court? TIA David

    I sent in supporting evidence from my GP and consultant. When I went to tribunal they said I was contesting on .....and named the descriptors etc. The DWP were asked if they would like to ask any questions (but said no, and they would not contest the decision) .I came out with the court decision in my hand and the reasons. It took about 6 weeks for the back dated money to come through. This was for PIP

    I'm guessing this is for ESA as that's where you've posted the question. Knowing absolutely nothing about your case, which group you're in at the moment or whether you were found fit for work it's impossible to advise anything other than, you'll be able to take someone with you on the day for support. You'll have to answer all the questions yourself because they'll want to hear it from you how your conditions affect you. Good luck.

    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.

    Is this for ESA?  as that's where you've posted the question to. If it's for PIP then i'd advise posting in the PIP/DLA part of the forum and starting your own thread. It's extremely confusing when asking questions on other peoples threads.

    It's impossible to advise you on this because no one knows your case or how your conditions affect you. If there's not enough of evidence to make a decision they will adjourn the hearing, perfectly normal. I'm afraid you'll now have to wait for another hearing date.

    If you only recently had the fall then that won't be taken into consideration when making the decision. The Tribunal can only take into consideration what you were like when the original decision was made. Any worsening of condition since then makes no difference.

    Hopefully it won't be too long.

    I'm sorry to hear what happened. Did you explain that you fell down the stairs the day before? They won't be able to take that fall into consideration. Did the fall make your mobility worse?

    Has I said the judge already decided on putting me into wrag but my mortality was worst that day because of the fall. So looking now to see if my back is any worst .she says that I could be in the wrong group .

    I'm not bothered about getting into the support group,I would prefer to be in the wrag , to help me in the future back to work .

    I'm sorry but myself or anyone else on a forum won't be able to answer any of questions because no one knows your case, or exactly how your conditions affect you. The only thing you can do is wait for another hearing date. Hopefully it won't be too long. HMCTS will most likely request medical records from you GP but they need permission from you before doing this. They will contact you, if they contact if this is what they plan to do.
