Well they said 45 weeks, 45 weeks passed I called and emailed.
They then said its upto 47 weeks!!? now 47 weeks have passed...... -
Lots of people are waiting a year and more for a hearing date, backlogs are huge.

Mine took 18 months but I won once I finally had it.I'm in the west midlands. It first got adjourned to obtain my medical records. Once you win though,they don't take long to pay what they owe.

Mine as taken 42 weeks in court on the 29 0ct the court told me 47 to 55 weeks
-
