    You should have asked for the tribunal to adjourned.

    You can only appeal the decision if there has been an error in the law, you need to get advice from the CAB to see if you can have another tribunal due to being too ill to attend.
  • Healy is correct and I second his advice!

    Have a look her for more info http://www.appeals-service.gov.uk/

    You could also look for a local welfare rights organisation or a charity who specialises in your condition as well as the CAB.

    Don't put this off as there are specific time limits for appeal etc. They hopefully can give you more specific advice to your situation.

    Did you phone the tribunal on the day to say that you were too unwell to attend?

    Do you have medical evidence that you were too unwell to attend?
