Hi and welcome,
Did you receive a letter regarding this? I’m wondering if it’s a compliance interview and not regarding the fit for work decision you’re appealing. Please check the letter to see exactly what it says.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Hi poppy no letter just a message on my uc account saying I need to be available for this interview and it's to check I'm on the correct amount of universal credit!!As I'm on the basic rate of £317 a month I don't understand how this can change unless I win at the tribunal .Thanks so much for getting back to me ,I'm finding all this overwhelming at the moment .

It sounds like a compliance interview to me, i've heard of others receiving messages like this on their journal and it's been a compliance interview. It's either just a random check or someone's reported you for something, if it's the latter and you've done nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about. Sorry i can't be anymore specific than this.
