Myson has severe epilepsy and the idea of going to the appeal terrorfies him and he would just answer yes to everything as he did at assesment I have evidence from Gp and a therapist he seesand consultant and all documented evidence he alsohas dyslexia even though he attended college
I understand an oral appeal is better and maybe them seeing him have a seizure woulkd help sorrybut you know what I mean but I know he wouldnt cope I am his Mumand appointee

thank you

Whether it is an oral hearing or a paper one, an award will only be made by your showing that he meets the criteria for one.

From your previous post (it helps if you keep everything together in one topic), this is for PIP so you will have to argue that he needs supervision when carting out certain activities, so you need to concentrate on showing that he needs that supervision, you will also have to show that the risk of an attack is one that affects him on the majority of days.

If you are his appointee, then it may be possible for you to attend in his place at an oral hearing, you should contact the Tribunal Service to see whether the Judge would allow this.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

I understand your Sons dilema. I too have Epilepsy and my last two appeals which I have won both, has been on paper. I could not for the life of me go through it. The assessment is bad enough.
I am currently awaiting my third appeal result!
