Upper appeal

Hi, I received a letter confirming that the upper appeal has allowed my appeal & it has been referred back to 1st tier tribunal,there was a error in law which was pointed out. Can anyone tell me what happens now. This has took over a year to get to this stage & it's driving me insane, thanks in advance

Anyway, what happens next is that you get out in the queue for a new listing but get priority. So, if you have any limits in your availability in the next 3 months now is the moment to tell HMCTS. You may also need to tell them if you have a representative, even if you did last time. If you didn’t have one last time it would be wise to get one this time.
Your UT decision may give specific directions. The new tribunal do not have to follow them and they often disregard them if they disagree. The new panel must be, as @Topkitten says, completely new.
The waiting time for my new appeal was around the normal waiting time that was then being taken but I can't remember now what it was. It was a DLA claim and the delays were much shorter then.

My appeal in papers was dismissed. No reasons given. Considering appealing. But if it gets sent back and I'm still unable to attend a hearing, is it worth it?
Bottom line is that it’s always worth attending a hearing as it vastly increases your chances of winning if you have a winnable case. If you can make it to your GP, hospital etc. then you need to make it to an appeal hearing as it’s equally as important.
