Judicial Summary
The appellant had diagnoses of ADHD and dyslexia and a letter from his GP confirming difficulties communicating by telephone. The First-tier Tribunal erred in law by proceeding with a telephone hearing without considering whether it was fair to do so and whether reasonable adjustments could be made, including allowing his mother to provide assistance during his evidence rather than only by giving evidence herself at the end of the hearing.
