Appeal tribunal next week

Thank you all so much for your replies.

My nerves are still getting worse the closer it looms and it's triggered off my IBS and I'm really really poorly at the moment with stomach cramps and I can barely eat or sleep, but I'm determined to get there fight my case.

And to top things off, guess what landed on my doorstep Saturday morning?
Another ESA50. I was put in the WRAG in April and the nurse who did my medical said I would be fit to return to work in 6 months so I'm about to go through the whole ordeal of that again and that's now also playing on my mind. I've still only managed 3 of my 5 WFI's because I've been too poorly to attend!

Regarding my ESA50 - The form is asking me if I attend the hospital as an outpatient.
Because of my DVT I have to go to the Warfarin Clinic at the hospital every 3 weeks for a blood test. I'm literally there for 5 minutes for them to take my blood and then they ring me later on in the day with my results and to let me know if my dosage has changed. Would that classify as being an outpatient?

I'm hoping and praying I will be able to update you all on Wednesday with positive news!

You might find out, but in general its someone who goes to hospital, not GP for tests, treatment or to see a dr but stays less than 24 hours

They are insquitorial rather than adversarial. I do think the paperwork is of interest to the tribunals, in so far as how the claimant described their problems and the medical details in the paperwork, but it is the case that at the hearings their main interest is in getting to the facts and reaching their own view of the claimant
