Thanks for your rely and the link can I just ask when they spoke to my son today regarding the cancellation my son explained the state I was in as I said they could not offer an other appointment so he gave them his number and said I don't answer my phone to numbers I don't know and asked could they ring him when they have another appointment she said that would be OK when he got home from work he rang them at 7pm this evening she said do you want me to try and arrange an appointment for the morning he said no because I was still in a state from this morning so she said we will have to send you an appointment through the post I thought there had to be so many days notice for an appointment could you give me any advice please also do I send the letter to the address I sent the AR1 form to thanks

They are required to give you seven days written notice which includes postage, you can accept a short notice appointment, but the Decision is yours.
