HI and welcome,I'm a community champion here on scope and i help and advise others with the complex benefit system.Unfortunately, waiting times for Tribunal hearings are huge across most of the country and lots of people are waiting a year for a hearing date. Once the Tribunal accept your appeal you can contact then to ask what the waiting times are for your area and they'll give you a guideline but do remember that it will just be an estimate.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.

Hi @jamie76 and welcome to the community.
I'm sorry you're having to appeal your PIP decision again. Unfortunately, waiting times are huge across the country so a year does seem about right.Community Manager
