Hi fiona2000
It can take a while to get to tribunal and 3 months is not out of the ordinary. I guess you have contacted the Court's Service recently but if not then you should as they may be able to give you an update.
Are you getting any help with your claim/appeal from anyone other than the DWP? Although some DWP staff can be very helpful they are not in a position to help with appeals as there would be a conflict of interest. I strongly suggest you contact an independent advice service where there may be an adviser who can help. If you are not sure where to find your local services you might like to telephone the Scope helpline.
Kind regards
David
