Part 1 Do you want to withdraw your appeal?
We do not recommend that you withdraw your appeal unless you have been advised to do so either by the City Council Welfare Rights service or by an independent advice agency.
Part 2 Do you want to have an oral hearing?
If you want to have a representative speak at the tribunal on your behalf it is essential that you ask for an oral hearing.
Part 3 Who will be going to the hearing?
There are boxes for you to tick to indicate if you and a representative will be attending the tribunal. Your chances of success are greater if you attend and have a representative. The options are:
- Do you agree to having less than 14 days notice of the date of your oral hearing?
If you have a representative they may need adequate notice of your appeal in which case you should not agree to less than 14 days notice.
- If you want an oral hearing please give us any dates in the next three months when you, or your representative, would not be able to come to a hearing.
You can indicate the dates over the next three months when you would not be available. Additionally you should indicate the dates when your representative is unavailable. Glasgow residents please note that the City Council Welfare Rights Officers are not available on Mondays or Public Holidays.
Part 4 If you live outside Great Britain and have asked for an oral hearing please give the following details.
This question need only be completed by people who do not live in Great Britain. The details requested should be straightforward.

Part 6 Do you have any more evidence that you want to put before the tribunal?
If you have additional evidence that you think may help your appeal you should give this to your representative. They will be able to advise you if this is helpful.
Part 7 Do you consent to the Appeals Service obtaining medical evidence?
The Appeals Service do not, as a matter of course, obtain additional medical evidence.
Part 8 Do you need an interpreter/signer?
If yes, are you able to arrange this yourself?
