For the past three months I have been hanging on my post, waiting for a tribunal date to be set. Well a letter came yesterday, saying that the tribunal had already been heard, and saying that 'I had elected for the case to be dealt with on the basis of the paperwork alone'. I certainly hadn't made that decision. In fact I wasn't even asked that question. So I have been tried in absentia, as it were, at a hearing that took place some two hundred  miles from where I live, and without me being told about it. So much for British 'justice' and 'fairness'. These are nothing more than a figment of the national imagination. It has left me feeling heartily sick. I've sent the paperwork to my support worker, in case anything can be done.
