Tribunal sounds scary

Metallichick

I'm not sure whether it should be with the packet you have just received or whether it is sent seperately, but there should be a covering letter from the Tribunal Service with your reference number, a form to complete confirming that you want to continue with the appeal, which also asks some logistical questions, and lastly a date, of when your appeal might be heard (usually meaningless).

You need to return the form within 14 days of receipt, but after that, there wil be no communication unless you submit more evidence, whcih you can upto about 2 weeks before the actual Tribunal date.

At sometime in the future they will notify you of the actual date of your Tribunal.

Hope this helps

No problem, Fridays are always a little more frantic as we try to make sure posts are approved before the 6.00pm dealine.

It usually takes a couple of week, but you will receive an even bigger pile of documents this will include a covering letter, and evidence packet with your ESA50, the medical report and the Decision Makers report, plus any evidence that you have submitted.

There will also be the form I mentioned above, which you need to complete and return within 14 days.

It's nearly a year since I received my appeal documents so I am struglling to remember the order of things, I did say that the form may be seperate, so I guess this must come directly from the Tribunal Service, whereas the initial evidence packet comes from the DWP.

The TS letter took about 10 days to arrive after the DWP packet.

If you have any further evidence, this should be sent to the TS who distribute it to the DWP and back to you.

I hope I've got it right this time
