Ringing the tribunals service was created by Nervy
With my letter from the Tribunals Service that i got in December there is an extra sheet. It says "If you require more time to obtain further evidence, please let us know how long this is expected to take". There is a phone number on the sheet.

I was just a bit worried if i rang they'll ask how long its expected to take for me to obtain the further evidence but I'm not sure how long.

Can I just say I don't know how long it'll take for me to write a submission etc?

You only need to contact the Tribunal Service if you have been given a Tribunal date and you are unable to submit your evidence within the timescales.

On the sheet that I received in December it says "Because of the high volume of cases we are currently dealing with, your appeal is NOT LIKELY to be heard before 01/05/2011" But I haven't heard anything yet.

Hi Nervy

I'm afraid they were correct. It was not likely to be heard before 01/05/2011, and it wasn't!

You can phone to try to get an update on when your hearing may take place, but you need to get your submission in as soon as you possibly can, as there is never a guarantee that you will get more time if you need it.

Good luck

Derek

Mine said 14/02/11 and I have still not heard, it's nothing to worry about, just a sign of how busy they are.

Is that a DLA or ESA appeal? Have you rang them up about the latest position of your hearing?

I'm a bit nervous about ringing up cos they might ask questions, like if i have any further evidence, how long it'll take why I need more time?
