Appeal

I receved my papers for the tribunal appeal process yesterday. I find the prospect of attending this daunting to say the least. I intend to confirm I will attend but does anyone know if I would be liable for costs If I decide later I can't face it, cancel and do not attend?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi g,

You can cancel your appeal hearing, without you being penalised, monetarily or otherwise.

If you were to do this, you should do so in writing to The TS dealing with your appeal, giving them as much notice as possible.

Many members have had concerns about attending a Tribunal Hearing, but have not found it as daunting as they feared.

There are only two members on an ESA appeals panel, a Doctor and a legally qualified Chair (Judge)

Have a look at this video :

MOJ Video of ESA Appeals Process and Tribunal
