    Hi there 

    Try not to worry they do sometimes request medical records so they can make the right decision

    Hi @anniefannie
    Just a question as I've never appealed before /been to tribunal don't we have to provide medical evidence etc at tribunal stage? Sorry just trying to get as prepared as possible before I get dragged down that route!! What kind of thing do they ask you for? Or do they not ask you for any of it and spring it on you later?
    Sorry for hijacking your post and making it about me! Just interested for future reference.... And I'm sure they are asking for the medical records that's probably a good thing at least they are looking into it properly ??

    They certainly didn't ask for any medical records at the assessment stage! :disappointed:

    I hope that has cleared it up for you now @anniefannie. How are you feeling now? Any less anxious?
