Hi so I’ve gone in for an appeal, I’ve been told it will be a paper base appeal.. I have just had all the paperwork sent from dwp to myself. Does anyone know how long this could take for me to get a decision? 
Many thanks..

    Hi,

    Who told you it will be paper based? I beleive these are still quite rare and most have telephone hearings.

    There's no timescales but waiting times are not as long as they were but this is for telephone hearings.

    Hi @river123. I don’t no anything about paper based, but my appeal was requested on June 29th and my appeal by telephone is next Wednesday, so I’ve waited 5 months, which is really quick, as Iv had one before and waited over a year, good luck when it comes.

    PIP appeals? Which i'm assuming you mean HMCTS. For paper decison's i believe they make these when they have the time to do it and you won't know the decision's been made until you receive the letter.

    Hi @Username_removed I think I requested paper based when I was filling it in as I didn’t want to go the actual hearing it’s self, I didn’t realise you can have a telephone hearing until later on as I would of chosen that. Do not many paper hearings get a good outcome then?

    Was that 92% success rate on paper hearings or oral hearings? ?

    Well we will see them figures you have heard may not but be
    100 percent accurate.

    Also you can’t really say that the success rate will always be the same on paper hearings..

    They are accurate. Mike would not give inaccurate information.

    @poppy123456 Things change every day! So about the paper hearings being 5% to 8% success rate, and will always stay the same?.. isn’t accurate in my eyes as you never know if they are going to change that as you and mike are not the ones making them decisions.

    Paper hearing success rate has always been low and yes i know that we don't make the decisions, i never said we did.

    My advice is, if you can do the telephone hearing or attend in peron (which ever it will be at the time) you should do that, rather than continue with your paper request.
