Great news Jo, Im still waiting for a hearing, they recently re assessed my original application but they didnt change decision so now have to wait for tribunal hearing, have you any tips or info on what it was like and what they asked you so that I can prepare. I have all the guides from this site but suffer with fibro fog and find it difficult taking it all in.
