Hi Roch82
You need to talk to the Tribunal Service. Only they can tell you what is happening in your area and whether it will be a face-to-face or video assessment. Most members on here appear to have had video assessment tribunals recently. You could request a video assessment and see what they say.
You could also put in a request to have a paper-based decision. However, you would need to think about that carefully, as there is a lower success rate for paper-based decisions because there is no chance for the panel to query any of the information they have.
