I have got my DLA tribunal on Wednesday and am starting to get in a real state about it. Please can you tell me what to expect? I have got Fybro and CFS and am dreading it. Thanks

You will see a proper Doctor and a judge in my case they were very nice. Always answer with your bad days and it is not a good move to be smart wear what is easy to put on and comfortable. Take your carer/ friend with you as a witness. Hearsay is acceptable in the room as you do not take an oath. Mine lasted 10 mins and was found in my favour. It is about 41% that win appeals. I wish you the very best of luck.

I had 2 people asking me questions about the sort of thing I could do for myself and what I couldn't. There was also a guy that was neutral. They agreed with me that the doctor who had been to see me had been against me from the beginning. You then leave the room for a couple of minutes while they make their decision.

Thanks for that I am so nervous. I'm just sorting out all the paperwork to get ready for it and Im hoping and praying they decide in my favour. Its so hard having to go through all this isnt it?
