Hello we have asked for oral hearing at tribunal so my standard mobility rAte can be changed to enhanced . I have called them yesterday if they know when the hearing will be and they said that tribunal decided that is not needed and will act in our favour what should we expact we are waiting for letter since 4 th of June but still not come and no one wants to tell us over the phone

Hi

Sounds like after reviewing information thay have decided to award in your favour

It can take 3 to 4 weeks for them to send letters so wait a while longer you should hear soon .

Well done

Thank you for reply I'm just so unsure what is happening as she has said something like your hearing has. Been s.... I don't know the word she said something starting with S that's why I don't quite understand what it is but she has said it has bees decided in claimants favour so I guess it is good. News for us hopefully

Yeah no further action sorry my phone is funny sometimes . Ok I hope that is the end of that long journey and finally we got what we wanted I mean if we was not asked to come for hearing then it should just be changed to what we want otherwise it would. It be fair if we did not even had chance to have our say .. thank you for ur reply hope everything will be good
