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.

You can send in new letters/evidence up to 7 days before the Tribunal hearing. The letters/evidence will from now on, be sent to the Tribunals service. You can even send them via e-mail as attachments, which saves on postage and gives proof of sending.
The statements of reasons that you should already have, should have given an indication of what was in the assessment report. You can get away with starting an appeal request on limited grounds and say about the report only having just arrived and that further details will follow.
Social anxiety counts as much as before as it did with PIP and DLA. Nothing has changed.
