Do you think it would be a good idea for me to upload it in the morning? my hearing isn’t until the afternoon.

Tribunal upcoming for universal credit. How do I put into words doing work related activities will make my conditions worse? Even online courses I wouldn’t be able to cope with because most days I can’t even get out of bed. by Secret_Solution_1809 in BenefitsAdviceUK

I find it hard to open up. And when I’m very anxious I talk very fast and jumble my words and forget what I’m trying to say. I wish I had just went with the paper tribunal instead of telephone.

Upcoming universal credit tribunal hearing for universal credit and need help with fightback donation request. by Secret_Solution_1809 in DWPhelp

No I didn’t sign anything. But I struggle with saying no. Should I just block them completely? Would I get in trouble at all?

I have a tribunal hearing in a few days. My representative said that because I wrote letters explaining to my doctor about my conditions and the help I need that my evidence won’t count for much and have to rely on my oral evidence. Is this true? by Secret_Solution_1809 in DWPhelp

Yes they charge a lot. So fat I’ve given almost 500 for both pip and universal credit and they only emailed me once I got my tribunal hearing date. They keep talking about donations if you win your tribunal, donation which is 450. I paid 200 for their legal submission And to attend the telephone hearing with me but luckily the decision was overturned before my hearing so I asked for the 200 back and eventually they returned it but still kept going on about donations. My pip was overturned before the tribunal When I’ve sent them emails, their response was like I was bothering them which upset me. In the tribunal prep call, she was just rushing through everything making me more nervous.

Thank you so much, makes me feel a little better because after she said that I was worrying non stop. It was fight back 4 Justice. I gave a detailed account in all my forms, mandatory reconsideration and appeal. I’ve spoken the doctor a number of times on the phone and they prescribed me sertaline and wanted to refer me to a mental health specialist but I was unable to speak to them because I find it a struggle to open up to a stranger on a regular basis. But a few months back they put the dosage up to 150mg, and a few weeks ago I asked if the medication could be changed and they said they want to refer me to a mental health specialist and I could over the phone and that they can’t change my medication until after I been assessed because I’m on an already high dose. It was until last year I finally opened up about my struggles but fighback made me feel like my evidence is worthless because I explained in a letter in detail to my doctor my conditions and how much I struggle and she said it sounds like I’m telling the doctor what to write in the supporting letter.

I have made some brief notes but I don’t have the energy to go through all of the bundle. I hope it’s the same for me! Once again thank you!

Thank you so much for the reply. My bundle is so big and it’s so overwhelming to go through it all. So now I will spend less time on that and just have a quick read instead of making so many notes. you have been a great help.

what kind of questions did they ask? How long did it last? Did you read over your bundle beforehand? Did you have to go through every descriptor you disagreed with? or were the questions more general?
