Hi,You can't appeal a Tribunal decision unless an error in law was made. For this you need to request the statement of reasons from the Tribunal.0

Around 69% of people win their First-tier Tribunal (FTT) but if you disagree with the First-tier Tribunal decision, you can appeal to the Upper Tribunal.
If you are eligible for legal help on income grounds, you may find a trained legal adviser or a solicitor to help with an appeal to the Upper Tribunal.- Civil Legal Advice can help you find a local legal service or solicitor. It can also check if you can get legal aid.
- The Law Centres Network has a list of law centres with a Legal Aid Contract for this work.
- Scope is not qualified to offer this level of advice.
An appeal to the Upper Tribunal is likely to take about a year. You might want to consider:- making a new claim for the benefit you are trying to get
- asking for another review of the current level of entitlement to that benefit.
It’s possible to appeal to the Upper Tribunal without legal representation. Find more about finding legal advice, which also links to resources about self-representation.
