Hi please can you help do appeal tribunals take medical evidence into account after the decision letter date. Or is it all about before the decision. Is it worth getting a report after decision. Only thing is the report may be out of date by the time the appeal comes up. Thanks

I did answer this in one of your post's this afternoon.

An appeal can accept new evidence but it must clearly related to how you were at the time that the Decision was made. Specifically the panel cannot take into account any changes that have in your conditions since the date of the Decision.

You asked for the report before the Decision was made so I don't think it will be an issue.
