    HI,

    No one will be able to tell you that because no one knows how your conditions affect you or anything about your case.

    You may not have a decision on the day, if this happens it doesn't mean anything other than a decision couldn't be made and they will send a you a decision letter within 3 weeks.

    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.

    Hi @naz786.... I hope I can give you some hope! They are really nice. My son spoke to a panel of three, they were all very nice , put him at ease . They will ask you how you cope with your condition, how it affects you. Just be honest and explain the best you can . Good luck x

    Hi @naz786. Hi just want to wish you well, I had my appeal 2 weeks ago, I got upset a few times and the panel were really nice telling me to take my time putting me at ease, have a drink of water beside you and all your appeal papers and make a few notes that you might want to say at the end. I got a letter 2 days after my appeal, and my backdated money was in the bank after just a week and a half, although some people’s have taken longer. Good luck and would be nice to hear how you get on.

    Aww great news I’m so pleased for you, at last you will be able to relax and I’m sure you’ll get a decent nights sleep tonight, after my appeal a few weeks ago I got my backdated money after a week and a half, I know waiting times can very but I hope you don’t wait to long, again well done ?
