Hi all,
l have been talking to my daughter who is concerned that l may not win back any arrears from UC after loosing my ESA last Sept due to a decision to find me “fit for work”
l have had an email from my Welfare right worker to say it’s good news and he has requested a copy of the report for the tribunal courts to advise them that a UC ASSESSMENT has found me unfit for work and work related activities.
While l am happy and relieved at the decision lm concerned that my outstanding bills (Since loosing ESA & Disability Premium) still won’t be paid because l won’t receive arrears due to me. Will l still have to go to the tribunal now that UC has made the decision “Unfit for work and work related activities” this is something lm Most worried about. ?

HI,Unless the Tribunal say otherwise then yes you'll need to attend that hearing because that's for the ESA decision and appearing in person will give you the best chance of a decision in your favour. Remember the Tribunal will only take into consideration what you were like at the time the decision was made on that ESA. 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.
