Hi is anyone else from Scotland and waiting on a tribunal date or have had one? Can you tell me how long you waited as I’ve been waiting 35 weeks now and not heard anything. I can’t phone due to anxiety
thanks

    Hello @DD91

    I'm sorry to hear you have had such a long wait. Is there anyone that could call on your behalf?

    I have a date for my tribunal it’s 24th July and I have to go to Edinburgh! My stepmums tribunal was 5 minutes down the road from me why wouldn’t I get there!? But at least I have a date now

    Hi I hope you’re doing ok as I know how stressful waiting on a tribunal can be.
    Why not phone the Assesment provider and ask if you can have one done nearer you. It’s worth a try just explain the difficulties it’ll cause if it’s not changed.

    Good luck

    It’s a Tribunal so they will need to ring HMCTS and not the assessment provider. The only issue about changing the place is that they could be waiting longer for another date.

    No problem. It’s easily done, I’ve done it myself without even thinking. X
