This is an exception to the rule, claimants should expect robust questioning about there issues but it should not resemble the issues that cazzyclay had.

Being able to explain your problems to the panel on the day is the best way for a claimant to win there Tribunal.

Thanks

hi cazzyday
ime s sorry to hear your appeal by phonecall didnt go well for you , i suffee like yourself with MH , agrophobia etc and i was considering one by phone but decided not to go ahead with it and decided to go for a oral ,, i thought it would go against me because i attended but was licky the panel i had were very understanding as i was a complete mess whilst there so they could see for themselfes how socilaisng affect me ,, i cant believe how awfull you were treated knowing that MH is a big part of your illness ime useless on the fone and never even answer it half the time nver mind speak on it ,, can imagine how upset and angry you must be feeling ,, if you put in for another claim and you not succsefull i would advise you to attend a tribunal as they can see you for how you are. which i think helped me get awarded pip,. ,hope whatever way you go your succesfull ,i know how hard and disheartning this process is ,, good luck hun,.

Abby to be honest it did go against me and with retrospect now I wish i had gone in person - the judge did make noises at the start about how she didn't want to go down the telephone hearing route but not realising how bad it was going to be I hung in there thinking please don't postpone this again.
If i had gone in person they would of seen the state of me, and I have had a hearing in person for ESA before and it was painful but nothing compared to this, and did last 40 mins so i can comment from both angles.
If i were you i would consider going in person.
If i had my time again i would.
good luck xxx
