ESA Tribunal

Hi

this is my first post so please be gentle

I have been on IB for a few years then I received a letter saying it was going to be changed to ESA.

I filled the forms in and then attended a medical. the result was that I was disallowed ESA and had the right to appeal which I did. I've asked for an oral hearing - no date yet.

Unfortunately, I naively thought that I wouldnt need any medical reports. Probably others on here think/thought that they would believe you when you fill forms in and I just didnt expect my claim to be disallowed. I have been under a consultant for about 8 years so I am going to ask him for a report (havent been able to as he has been on holiday and is back next week). What do you think would be the best to ask him for...a report? or a letter? I have seen him a lot over the years and I think he will oblige.

Other than that, is there anything else I need to know? I have been looking around the site but I dont know if I've been looking in the right places.

Many thanks in advance

Ive just looked at the Preparing for tribunal link and it seems to direct me to the guide - "The Best Possible Support For Clients With DLA and AA Appeals " - is that right?

many thanks
