Hi HB, I have a a look on the forum sticky on appeals and tribunals and have picked up a few pointers, i will be going to the tribunal on my own and at the moment i'm just writing them a email as i never got to send them any evidence to support my case as ive just had my hospital appointment this week for some more results which now as been confirmed that not only do i have Diverticular Disease, (pouches of the bowel) thickening of the colon and a twisted kidney but also IBS as well now? i will be focusing on the pain aspect and how it effects my daily life rather than the actual conditions but at the medical assessment i explained all this but still scored nil points? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Hi leemack, i've been reading your posts of advice about tribunals, i have my hearing on monday where i am appealing against receiving no points at all out of the 15, my condition is diverticular decease and IBS which is very painful 24/7 but the Decision Maker thinks i must be telling lies but anyway the question i want to ask is, during the past 4 months i have developed a frozen shoulder and that is very very painful, should i mention this at the hearing or do as you have said below..? thanks. It is often best to avoid all mention of new or worsening conditions at tribunal unless specifically asked.
