It's not with the court, it's with HMCTS Tribunal service. There's very long delays with hearing dates and you could unfortunately be waiting anything up to a year after requesting the appeal.

Hey @Rottweiler78, as Poppy has mentioned it can take several months to a year in some regions of the country. You can try calling HMCTS about how things are going, if you are in dire circumstances you can explain to them the urgency of your situation, however given they would have to delay and change someone else who is waiting it's not likely.

Has your husband applied for any benefits at all?
