Awating PIP Tribunal - Contacting DWP

Hi there,

I am currently awaiting a tribunal for my PIP claim.

At the moment, we are waiting for the DWP to send their response to both me and the TS, but I was wondering... after amassing lots of case law from the Upper Tribunal, and written a general statement using your guides, would it be possible to contact the DWP and inform them of all the case law to try and convince them to change their decision and save us both time of a tribunal?

If so - how would you suggest I do this? Call and ask to speak to......???

Also... at what point should I submit a request for an urgent hearing, if things go ahead... Should I wait until the DWP has responded? I did read the members only guide on this, but it was very confusing and seemed like it maybe hadn't been updated recently so I wasn't sure how appropriate it still would be as a model letter.

Lastly, does anyone have any idea what the current wait times are for a Tribunal in the South East/London area... I've been assigned to Aldershot Tribunal, if that helps at all.

Now that your appeal is accepted, you must not communicate directly with the DWP about it, only through the TS, anything you send to the TS will be copied by them to the DWP.

I would not request an urgent hearing until you have had sight of the DWP submission as you may need to respond to it's contents in your own one.

As to wait times. Contact the venue they can tell you how long claimants are waiting at the moment.
