Prior to arriving for my DLA tribunal I had a panic attack and had to take my medication which is Propanalol 40mg this is one of the only medications I can take whilst driving.

I telephoned to inform the Tribunal Service that i was arriving late and asked where I could park, they advised me that if you have a hearing and you are disabled you must book parking spaces prior to arrival, but they had double yellow lines available for me to park on.

When I went into the office I was greeted by x2 males one being the clerk and the other I am not sure who he was, there was security and my benefits welfare officer who kindly came to support me.

The clerk informed me offered me a drink of water to take with my tablet, and informed me that a member of public had come to observe the hearing, he also happened to be an unknown male.

I was then taken to a room and introduced to the panel, a Judge whom they refer to as the Chair, a Doctor, and another person. there was also a representative from the DWP who would be defending their reason for stopping my DLA.

Following my assault part of my concerns are being around males who I do not know coming into direct contact with me especially if they have to amke decisions or ask me personal questions, and here I was surrounded by them.

This was my worst nightmare thankfully the room I was taken to had windows but then they shut the doors, I was extremely scared, petrified, I felt like a criminal on trial!

I have to go through this because of people who pretend to be disabled when they are not i would emplore you that if you are not disabled DO NOT make false claim it is not nice to live with a disability and then be put this this hell, to prove that you are!
