i was on dla and last March had my assessment to transition from dla to pip for epilepsy mental health issues i was a recovering anorexic they said i couldn't have it they lied on the decision about information from the assessment in the May 2017 I got a letter saying I just had to wait for the date for the tribunal it's now February 2018 and I still haven't heard a thing, my anorexia has come back along with other issues as well as what I already had I have a stress trigger epilepsy so u can imagine the last year hasn't been good at all is it normal to be waiting all this time every timei ring all they say is everything is done at our end

Hi @Aquaeyes, and welcome to the community!
So sorry to hear about your assessment experience, it must have been a really disheartening process for you and I'm sorry to hear about the impact it has had on you.
I hope some of our other members will be able to help you with this- when was the last time you contacted the DWP? Do you have any support for your mental health at the moment? -
You can ask for a short notice hearing in case of a cancellation but this could mean they might notify you only the day before.

I have been waiting approx 6 months so far, when i phonen they simply said " they dont know i will just have to wait as it can taku as much as a year, i mean wot use is that if you have a terminal condition/

Silly question... I sent my appeal papers off a while ago and got confirmation from the court in may. I received the DWPs response to the court about a month ago.
Now that I know the tribunal had the response from the DWP a month ago.. Does that mean my hearing shouldn't be too far away. Or was I in the queue as soon as I applied for a tribunal hearing and the fact the dwp has responded doesn't make any difference to my hearing time? Barnstaple, North Devon in my assigned tribunal centre

You are in the queue as soon as the tribunal receives your SSCS1 form.
