    Hello and welcome to our online community @daffa

    4 years is an extraordinarily long time to be waiting  :(  Have you rung the tribunal office to ask what the delay is, and enquire how much longer it's likely to be?

    Just to add, I've moved this post to our PIP, DLA and AA category and tweaked the thread title to help others spot what it's about.

    Hi @daffa

    I just wanted to stop by, say hello, and add my welcome to the community. 

    You'll see that you've already had a couple of responses to your first post from us. Do you want to tell us a bit more about the background to your appeal and also your recent application for PIP? That might help our members to get an idea of where you're up to in the process and offer you some further advice on that basis. 

    Also, just let us know if you have any questions for us in the meantime, or if you need any more help navigating the community. :smile:
