Applications to expedite PIP appeal under Rule 6

IndigoFrost

"Rule 6: a party may apply for a direction a) by sending or delivering a written application to the Tribunal; "

Any comments appreciated on question : Does the tribunal's power include the power to decide and direct on an application to expedite a hearing?

I'm asking initially re the powers of the tribunal, not the chances of such an application being successful.

No point making an application if the tribunal doesn't have that power.

Thanks for any advice!
