Upper Tribunal. Is it ok to ask for expediency due to hardship?

Hi @cat_hug

Thanks for giving us an update, I'm glad to hear you're alright and safe. 

Sorry to hear about what you've had to go through, sounds like it's been a rough few days. I'm glad your cheeky daughter was able to get the video appointment, what a lovely thing for her to do for you I hope the treatment helps. 

There's no need to apologise and be embarrassed, you were obviously struggling at the time of your post and that's completely understandable. I hope you found our email and the advice on this page helpful, and please note you can always give Scope's helpline a call if you want to talk through things further with one of the friendly team.

Regarding the journalist, there's no right or wrong answer here really, it's all about what you are comfortable doing. If you are happy to share your experience then it'll be great, otherwise if you don't feel comfortable doing that then there's no problem.
