The Tribunal Service is required to give 14 days notice of a hearing unless both parties waive their right to this period or there are matter of such urgency that a short notice hearing would be appropriate. This includes postage time.
If your daughter has not been given the required notice and she did not waive her rights to the normal period then she needs to contact the Clerk of the Court for the venue and ask for it to be re-scheduled to a date where adequate notice can be given. Failing that then she needs ask for the hearing to be adjourned to a time that she can travel to the venue without problem.

This sounds shocking, Aggie, what you are having to go through. I hope you get it sorted.

Do the Tribunal Service ever contact claimants and offer them an early date perhaps if the Service has a cancellation?

Thank you Gordon, I cannot tell you what a relief your message was. I have contacted my daughter and she will follow your instructions so kindly given. And from one old lady you have made me feel a whole lot better. Bless you
