Pip tribunal waiting time 2019.

I've been waiting just over 40 weeks for a tribunal date. I called the phone number to ask for an update and the lady I spoke to said  they've now stopped giving average waiting times. It shows how bad things are. I've now asked for online updates though my mobile number. I would advise anyone like me who has waited so long to do the same. Phoning up is a waste of time as they can tell you nothing now. At least this way I can get text alerts as soon as things change.
