Hi, I am just wondering if anyone could help me with how I would present her problems to a Tribunal. She has been turned down for ESA and her tribunal is in only a couple of weeks . She has got a diagnosis of Attention Deficit and a question mark against Severe Antisocial Personality Disorder. Her own doctor doesn't seem to have her documents on his computer system because the diagnosis was years ago. He is just giving two weekly sick notes that state she is stressed and anxious. I have come into the situation late on because I thought she had a support worker helping her. She has been given some points for help getting around in unfamiliar places but I think given that she has Attention Deficit that she should at least get points on the sections a) learning new tasks b) being able to finish tasks c) being able to sustain concentration Her personality disorder makes her aggressive, uncooperative, argumentative and agitated when stressed so I also think that she should get points in that area. Most off the time she seems fine so long as she has taken her medication but her behaviour deteriorates as the medication time gets closer. She becomes agitated, argumentative and aggressive. If she is even slightly stressed , like now because she is receiving lower benefit payments, she cannot cope. She can socialise for short periods but lives alone because she cannot maintain a relationship on a continuous basis: she has to get away and be alone to take her tablets. These are the symptoms for Attention Deficit and this is what she suffers from. Before being diagnosed she did self medicate and did try drugs. Anxiety – Excessive worry that occurs frequently and is difficult to control. Symptoms include feeling restless or on edge, easily fatigued, panic attacks, irritability, muscle tension, and insomnia. Depression – Symptoms include feelings of hopelessness, helpless, and self-loathing, as well as changes in sleep and eating habits and a loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy. Learning disabilities – Problems with reading, writing, or mathematics. When given standardized tests, the student's ability or intelligence is substantially higher than his or her achievement. Substance abuse – The impulsivity and behavioral issues that often go along with ADD/ADHD can lead to alcohol and drug problems. Any suggestions or help would be gratefully recieved DMOll
