Hi i was looking for advice on how long a tribunal hearing date can take. I have been waiting for 47 weeks and slowly losing my mind trying to deal with managing my condictionssss, work, finances. I am just going round in circles I try to work yo make up for time I am not able to then my body crashes from doing to much.

    Lots of people are waiting a year and more for a hearing date, backlogs are huge.

    Mine took 18 months but I won once I finally had it.I'm in the west midlands. It first got adjourned to obtain my medical records. Once you win though,they don't take long to pay what they owe.

    I waited 44weeks had my Tribunal won it for 5 years but the waiting isn’t over have to wait 8 more weeks for paperwork to be exchanged between DWP/Tribunal and myself award hasn’t been updated and as expected no money has been handed over or my Mobility Car returned its sooooo frustrating
