Hi everyone.

Hope you’ve enjoyed the jubilee bank holiday.

I am currently waiting for a PIP tribunal hearing date via telephone / video. I escalated it to this stage in Feb and haven’t been told a date yet.

I’ve got further surgery at the end of this month and it would be just my luck that the hearing is during this time. Can I ring and advise them of the surgery / recovery time providing it goes okay so they avoided these dates or will it be “tough”?

I know waiting times can vary but does anyone know how much longer this could take? The PIP claim is now over a year old.

    You would need to contact HMCTS and not PIP.
