tribunal

Hi, Have finally got my decision makers points back, and scored 15 on physical side. I have suffered from depression, anxiety, panic attacks etc, but got no points for anything on the mental side. Help??? Am, STILL seeing a counsellor! have another tribunal to look forward to, so how can I prepare? Our local council have an office dealing with DWP problems, so they may help?
