dla clerks notes

Hi ,
Just a thought I won my dla tribunal unanimous decision and noted that the clerk was taking notes.

I am now in appeal stage of ESA can I request the notes taken from the dla appeal and if so would I be able to use this alongside other evidence to help my ESA appeal??
thanks

The clerk does not take notes during a tribunal hearing as this is purely a matter for the judge.

Although the clerk may have appeared to take notes, it is likely that he/she was doing administrative work which had no connection with the hearing. You can however still request a record of the proceedings, which are retained for a period of eighteen months following the date of your DLA hearing
