Fast Tracked

Cloud9

Hi all I’m new here, hope you are all well. I’ve been awarded PIP at the low rate. I’ve now sent all relevant info for a paper tribunal, I was contacted last week by pip and the lady was just asking was I ok? She then said she’d fast track my apple, does anyone know how long it will be until I hear back? Tia

I have no idea what they mean by "fast tracked." Are you aware that paper based hearings have a very low success rate of between 5-8%. 

It would be much better for you to either have a telephone hearing or face to face. Success rate of either of those is around 70%.

I have no idea of the waiting time for paper based hearings but appearing in person or telephone hearings often it's several months, possibly longer.

Oh dear, didn’t realise that. I’ll ring them tomorrow and see if I can change too a telephone hearing. Thanks for your quick reply.

It sounds really positive that you have managed to get it changed to a telephone call @Cloud9. Hopefully, the wait won't be too long.

Yes, please do let us know when you get the call and how it goes if you feel comfortable with this.
