Hello @kellylouise Pleased to meet you welcome.
Thank you for talking about your tribunal and court date. I do not know what I can suggest. Understand the frustrations and annoyance.
Wonder if it is possible to contact your MP to speak to him or her. About this they often want to know.
I agree with you a long time to wait.
I wanted to welcome you and hope we can be of any help. I know some one from our community team will advise or a member of our community.
Have a look at PIP advice see if that helps.
Ask the community anything hopefully we can help. Some one will know.
Please take care

Hi @kellylouise, and welcome to the community!
Thanks for sharing this with us. Unfortunately this is a fairly common experience and I'm sure many of our community members will be able to empathise with your frustrations. One thing you can do is contact the DWP and ask for a short notice hearing. @BenefitsTrainingCo provided some information on this which you can see in this discussion:If you haven't already you can ask for a short notice hearing, this means you may be slotted in where they have a cancellation without the standard 14 day notice.
