    i don't know what she sounds like but just because your depressed doesnt mean that you cannot feel happy about getting your appeal

    You can't tell how somebody is feeling from a post on a forum! I sometimes can post quite "normal/happy" messages but i'll be sat here in tears, completely depressed. ETA - i'm not being narky with anybody here by the way :)

    Well done on winning your tribunal OP :)
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:

    An appeal IS a tribunal. A tribunal can be an oral hearing but not necesserily. What you describe is a reconsideration or in some cases a review.
