    can be weeks or months , depending on how may appeals in your area ... I waited 3 months for my hearing . I won and had the award backdated to when they stopped my claim

    I understand that six months now is standard, unless you state that you would accept a date at short notice in case of a cancellation.

    I guess maybe because you may be in a large town or city ?  Or so many appeals are now common place . With all the false information that is written down by the assessors . I guess everyone appeals

    I live in London.  And the number of PIP appeals has ballooned.  Yes, many people have grounds for appeal.
