Useful Supporting Documents for Tribunal Hearing
12 years 5 months ago #107392 by Gordon
You do not say what the appeal is for
It will obviously depend on what you included with your claim form and what is available for you to send that has not already been included.
The Tribunal can only look at our condition as it was at the time of the Decision being appealed, so you need to be careful that any new letters and reports make it clear that they are relevant to this date.
You can ask you GP for a letter or a report, but you should be aware that they do no not have to do this, and even if they do, they can charge.
You can ask any other medical professionals who you see if they will support you.
You can access your medical records.
Requesting your medical records
Charging for medical records
Any reports need to directly address the criteria for the benefit you are appealing, so for ESA you need a report to refer to the ESA Descriptors and Regulations, for DLA they need to cover your Care and/or Mobility needs, for PIP it will be the PIP descriptors.
If we can help more, please reply to this post.

Can anyone suggest what are the best or most useful supporting documents to submit for a tribunal hearing?

Thank you

Hi ux,
O.K., now we know that it is an ESA appeal.
Are you appealing a fit for work decision ? or are you appealing a WRAG award to gain entry to The Support Group ?
What date was the original decision that you are appealing, was it before 28/01/13 ?
