Child DLA tribunal waiting time, what happens if it's exceeded?

Hi,
Our child has had an appeal outstanding for 42-43 weeks. Every time we ring the local court for an update we get a different explanation. They even contradicted citizens advice.
The latest they said is if it gets to 44 weeks they send the case back to DWP Birmingham.
Does anyone know what happens then?
We’re thinking the appeal may never get heard.
Any information welcome.

Waiting times vary with caseloads and hearings so the figure will go up or down from week to week. They can send it back to DWP at any point but the question would be why? You’ve appealed. The appeal has to be heard unless DWP review and revise in your favour. If that we’re going to happen it would have a long time ago. I’d be more concerned about ensuring I know what rates I’m going fir any way; that I have a good case with plenty of anecdotal evidence and a decent representative.
