I’ve been waiting 29 weeks for my tribunal hearing and still haven’t got a date set yet. Just wondering if that is normal ?

    Potentially 10+ months. You can contact HMCTS and ask them what the current waiting times are and they maybe able to give you a guide but it’s just a guide.

    My tribunal is a year since my initial pip application and appeal request was made in June with my tribunal scheduled for February

    Well I phoned up HMCTS and they said they couldn't even give me a rough estimate and would just have to sit tight until they contacted me.

    I’ve called and they’ve said mine is ready to be allocated once new tribunal dates are released. Not sure how true that is ??

    Not something I've ever heard of but it's feasible they may batch release dates I suppose.

    They call it 'Ready to list' and yes that is true as I was told the same when I inquired about a timescale. It was around a month before mine was listed and I was given a date.
