Hi there, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post.
I've been waiting for a PIP Tribunal date for approx. 8 weeks now and called HMCTS to ask for an update this morning.
They advised me that the current expected wait time is 26 weeks in the North East at the moment....Does anyone know if this is realistic or do they get through them quicker?
Thanks
David

Hi @Weedavey72, and welcome to the community!
Hopefully some of our other members in the region will be able to help you with this- we do know that people waiting for tribunals can face varying waiting times, but it's difficult to predict what dates individuals will be given. Do keep us updated and if there's anything we can assist you with in the meantime, just let us know. -
Thanks, appreciate the quick response.
I'll update as I know more from them.
Cheers

Had to wait 24 weeks here in South Wales.

Thanks Kevin888, how did you get on? Any insight into the process in court would be appreciated.

Hi
After a long wait for tribunal I was well prepared. Take everything you have with you. The panel were very understanding and knew about my case. not like the so called HP at Capita! We were in there about 20 minutes and asked to wait while they made the decision. From 0 points at the assessment I had 33 points awarded
Enhanced rate for both. However a lady before us said they were the opposite? but I don't think they were prepared in their case ( they had no paperwork with them and I had 180 pages in a big folder) so be prepared and take everything you think is relevant to your case. I went to the CAB and they sent a letter confirming what should have been awarded as well. -
Hi
I am in the South East and the wait time here is 27 weeks and is a realistic wait.
I have been waiting since the middle of September 2017.

Hi weedavey72. I’m in boro and I’ve been waiting since June, rang the courts to ask of the waiting times and I was advised there was currently a 33 week wait, I rang again last week and this has now gone up to a 39 week wait. I was told it’s due to high number of people appealing against the dwp. I’m also starting an appeal against dwp for my ESA, it’s a joke! I’ve already been to tribunal and won my ESA back 4 years ago, now I’m going thru the same thing. The health care professionals have both told untruths. The next time I have to go for a face to face I will be requesting... nay, demanding! it be recorded. I wish everyone good luck with this ****, they play with peoples lives like they’re nothing :-(

I'm in South Shields and was just quoted 44 - 45 weeks for my daughter's tribunal. We've waited 32 weeks so far, so 12 to 13 weeks to go. Not sure if the wait will get longer during that time though

Hi everyone, so I’ve finally got my date through for the 7th of December .... given my original post was on the 24th of Jan and I’d waited 8 weeks before posting I reckon that’s taken a full year!
I’m almost beyond caring. Several suicide attempts, my partner almost leaving me, financial ruin and quality of life being the lowest it’s ever been I’m not sure I can take any more!
In amongst all this and maybe a coincidence but my ESA support group assessment has been scheduled for a few days before the court hearing! Coincidence? Not sure.
Anyway I will update the outcome....
stay safe everyone

One thing that I forgot to mention is that the DWP didn’t answer 3 requests from the court for information in the timescales sent ... it was only when the judge ruled that they would rule in the absence of any information from the DWP that they replied and a date was set! Probably held us up by 4 months!
Try having that attitude with the DWP when they tell you they want a reply within 30 days!!

Before you go to a tribuneral how do you send in extra information and is this possible? Current waiting time in Birmingham is 30+ weeks.
-
You can send any further relevant evidence to the tribunal clerk. You should include your name and NI number and reference number if you have one
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -
