My husband has a ESA tribunal coming up tommorow a year after he put in a claim, my husband ihas bpd cyclithimia and is very paranoid and this is a genuine case not us scrounging my dh is receiving treatment but has a long way to go and I know the strain of this is not helping his mental health , the pressure we have been under this past year has been ridiculous and if we won the tribunal it would ease the pressure a bit .
I am so nervous about what to expect and dreading hearing we might get rejected , I feel sick with it

Are you attending with anyone, from the CAB or welfare rights etc?

Have you gone over what you are basing your appeal on?

Have you scored yourself higher than they did?

I am with birdsgottafly,hope you have a welfare worker with you.I actually thought it was against principal to do this with the mentally ill,at the place I worked if any one was off with any mental illness it like it was against the law to contact them at all ,we were only allowed to phone and ask how they were but not to ask when they were returning to work or how the treatment was going.

It's not an employment tribunal lily it's a benefits tribunal and Star is right, hte majority do overturn the previous decision (usually because the previous decision is ludicrous)

Good luck xx

We won the tribunal thank god dh was in a bad way when we went in and they came to a desicion after a few questions . Hopefully life can get back to some semblance of normal now . I live in eternal hope.
