Welcome to the community.
I'm sorry you've had to wait this long. Is this tribunal for PIP or ESA?

Please please let me know if I can help you further ???
And good luck to you
If it’s helpful, somebody dy advised me to ring a charity called Step Change, they helped me work out a budget to manage bills and the small amount of money coming in.
I hope that news of your tribunal comes as soon as possible.
Has anybody complained to the dwp about wait times?
I would love to hear any feedback about this.
Chockies.
I have epilepsy mostly grand mals daily and petite mals. I am waiting for my tribunal date and have been told 54 weeks waiting time, I live in West Yorkshire.I was told there's huge back logs. I lost my PIP in may 2018 I am really struggling so I understand how you feel.The tribunal keep me updated by sending me emails which allows me to track my appeal. I am waiting for an update on the 18th of this month, which will probably say sorry but we have not got a date for your tribunal yet, I have been told it will probably be September 2019. Its the length of time people are having to wait to have their appeal heard. If you win you the waiting time for the backdated money can be 4 to 8 weeks. I know that if you win and DWP do not appeal the decision your PIP will be reinstated straight away, but you still have to wait for backdated money. I hope you hear soon and good luck with your tribunal. Keep in touch and if you do not mind let me know how you get on.
