    april123,

    I can't be exact April but it's several months. I know people in Birmingham who appealed last year and had hearings in March. I work nationally so it's difficult to be exact about local issues but my colleague Lee is in the West Midlands and may be able to be more specific.

    Hi April, I've just had a quick chat with Lee and he says it's about 29 weeks from the date the appeal was registered. He's been told this by the tribunals service themselves as he gave them a quick ring to check how things were at the moment.

    Hope this helps give you an idea.
