Hi just got a letter about my trbuneral over the phone. If they don't see me they won't see. How bad I am

Hello @Cathro. Lots of people feel like this but the current success rates of telephone tribunals is quite high. Rather than visual observations they will be more reliant on you being able to describe your situation but that isn't always a bad thing.
How long until your tribunal?

Hi @Cathro Welcome to the community. Unfortunately all tribunals are being done over the phone at present if it is possible to do so. If not there will be even longer waiting times until they are allowed to take place in person.

You will have the chance to explain your reason for appeal and why you think you should have scored more points against the descriptors, so you will be able to explain your condition and how it affects you, remember this is an appeal and not an assessment.

They will only take into account your condition at the time you applied and not any worsening condition

Good luck hope ity goes well and keep us updated

Sorry I just posted to you in another thread @katho31. It sounds as though he was looking for a decision when it's just the actual assessment report which is why he thought it would be irrelevant. Next time you call ask them to send it out to you anyway, you can decide what is relevant.
