PIP Tribunal wait time timeline

FloridaDino

Just for everyone’s information, with regards to waiting times for tribunals, I’ve now finally got a date for mine.
I appealed to tribunal on December 6th, so it has been 35 weeks, and the date given is just over 4 weeks time, so in all the wait will have been just under 40 weeks. My ‘local’ centre is Bradford (I live in Essex 😂).
this has involved me contacting them via email several times, contacting my MP for assistance, and using the web chat facility. Did any of this help? Absolutely no idea. 

If, like me, some of you have been scouring threads for other people’s experiences with wait times then hopefully this will give a little context 😊

Thanks for sharing @FloridaDino, it's good to have some first-hand experience shared of wait times. How are you feeling about the tribunal?

I’m feeling fine with it. It’s been such a long wait I’ve used the time to read up as much as I can, write down bulletpoints I want to cover, prep for certain questions etc. I feel I’m on the right side of the argument and it’s my job to show them that.

That's a great approach @FloridaDino and I'm glad you feel prepared.
