Hi Lesley
Most people get very nervous when attending a Tribunal, are you attending on your own or is someone going with you?
I usually find it beneficial if you write down what you want to say to the Tribunal especially if the HC report is factually incorrect. At a hearing people forget what they want to say due to stress and usually remember after they come out.
I have known people to have been contacted prior to a hearing but it is quite rare.
