I was just about to print off the final copies of the tribunal request when the postie arrived with the Capita assessor's report. Last day to post off the tribunal request!

As I read through it I got angrier and angrier. Despite all the medical evidence and handwritten statements from several experts, she obviously decided that the lad seems "intelligent and mobile" so got 0 points for all sections apart from the "social anxiety" part which now accrues no points after a DWP mandate. And blatant lies, saying she reckons that the lad can read maps, dress himself for the situation, cook, find his way about in unfamiliar places, etc., etc.

Ah well, the tribunal request is sent off now, just before the deadline.

Panic over until we get our date to go defend him.
