Judicial Summary
皇冠体育app First-tier Tribunal erred in law by failing to adjourn the paper hearing to an oral hearing in order to allow the appellant an opportunity to respond to its concerns about his credibility. In particular, the First-tier Tribunal should have given the appellant an opportunity to respond to assumptions it made about: (a) the distance he would have had to walk in the supermarket car park before he obtained his Blue Badge; and (b), his functioning in the light of the nature of the treatment he was receiving. 皇冠体育app First-tier Tribunal also failed to give adequate reasons for its decision to proceed on the papers.
