    Hi,

    HMCTS can't give you a hearing date if there's none available. DWP will already have copies of all the evidence you sent. It's very rare for DWP to offer an award before a hearing takes place but it can happen, although i wouldn't rely on that happening. Unfortunately, backlogs for hearings are huge across most of the country and some are waiting in excess of a year, add that onto the waiting time to receive backdated money, if successfully award then it's even longer.

    There's nothing more you can do but wait, i'm afraid. Hopefully it won't be much longer until you receive that date.

    No the tribuneral havent sent the school letter to dwp  they told me to send it basically they refused my son saying he dont need extra care or supervision and isnt a danger to himself or anyone where in the school letter its states how he needs extra supervision and 1 to 1 30hrs a week at school and that hes a danger to himself and other pupils

    Everything you send HMCTS should be sent to DWP, if it hasn't then i'd be asking why it wasn't sent. Even with that evidence it's still rare for DWP to offer an award before the hearing takes place.

    Have you sent that to HMCTS? if you haven't then you should send it and then they will send it to DWP. Hopefully you won't be waiting too much longer for a hearing date.

    I can't advise you about the letter i'm afraid because i don't know anything about your case.

    Is this a PIP or DLA claim?

    There's no harm in sending it to DWP but you need to make sure it's sent to HMCTS ASAP. When they receive it they will automatically send a copy to DWP.

    As i previously advised, to have an offer of an award before a hearing date it rare so you need to expect to have to attend the hearing.

    Great news. If you're claiming child tax credits don't forget to ring HMRC to report the changes because you'll be entitled to disabled child element, which will be backdated to the start of the DLA award.

    If you're claiming Universal Credit then there's also a disabled child element of this and you should report the changes on your journal.
