Tribunal Next week

Hi somebody-else

Good luck, be yourself, do you have anyone to be with you for support?

- Don't take extra medication to get through the ordeal as that will go against you.
- Write yourself a bullet point list of any particular points you want to get over, so you have it by you during the tribunal, tick them as you cover them.
- have paper and pens to hand to make any notes such as the tribunal panel names, date, time
- make sure you are seated in a comfortable chair, you may be there a while and at table to make notes.
- if you can't hear or understand what is being asked, then ask them to repeat the question.
- don’t let the panel members rush you and get you flustered, if you do not know how far something is say so, do not make up an answer.
~ If you need a break ask them for a break.
- don't forget to have a glass of water if needed so you don't get a dry throat and lose your voice!

Let us know how you get on.

I should have put AnnieB's name, it was a freudian slip 🤪

Hi Annie,

The PA4's seem to be inaccurate for so many of us - and as hard as it is to constantly keep fighting, you have to until the very end sometimes, because it's only then that they see how determined somebody is, and that you have the Upper Tribunal for example on your side, especially if they find an error of law was made in the FtT. I am still going through this process now myself and it has been ongoing since June 2023!

Stay Strong Annie!
