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.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    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.
