    I agree with the others, you need to seek professional advice on this, a lot will depend on if you informed the tribunal service you could not attend, and if they refused to re-arrange a new date. You may (not sure) be able to still argue for a set aside though, perhaps if it can be shown that your medical condition led to the confusion over dates etc, ie it was not a case of you simply not turning up, but more a case of the stress/worry/condition leading to it.

    Get advice, its a complex area that would have to be handled rather well to convince a tribunal to set aside.
    [greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

    The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
    and we should be deeply worried about that
