Hello dear Community.
Can any say how long PIP Tribunal hearings are taking following an Mandatory Reconsideration at the moment and if they are doing face2face hearings yet?
Thanks

HI,The average wait is about 32 weeks but of course it will depend on the backlog in your area. There are starting to do some face to face hearings but only for those decisions that can't be made with either a telephone hearing or paper based. Whether there will be any changes by the time your hearing date arrives, i have no idea. You'll just need to wait to see what happens.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.

I thought it might be a long wait, this is what I was told.
Hopefully normal hearings resume by then. -

I hope it's not too long and that Ill get a face2face hearing. I don't think I'll be coping well with a telephone hearing. I can just live in hope as do many others I expect.

I appealed to tribunal in January 2020 - finally had my hearing last week! It was a long wait. The hearing was over the phone with a judge, doctor and disability specialist on the call with me. It lasted about an hour with the doctor asking questions about mobility and the disability specialist asking questions about daily living. I was then given the chance to ask questions or elaborate on anything I wanted to. My appeal was successful, so although a long wait, worth it in the long run!

I'm worried I won't cope with the telephone hearing well. I would say I'm an exception that would benefit from a face2face but I can imagine there will be others with more difficulty than myself and if it is that no one has had one due to exception circumstance I doubt I would.
Tasha I'm glad your hearing went well.
