Telephone appeals was created by Sue
Appealed my PIP award as I was failed after my face to face assessment so have gone to appeal was told a minimum of 9 month wait. Monday I received a letter stating I had a telephone appeal on 20/07/2020 I was told last week by my citizen advice worker that the appeal court were sifting through cases that were likely to be successful for a telephone appeal. Anyone have any insight into this or do I adjourn it until a face to face would be available
Thank you in advance

I don't think you have the option of adjourning the hearing unless the Tribunal Service has specifically said so in their letter to you.
As to success rates, telephone appeals are far too new for any statistics to have been produced but they are not different from face to face ones with the exception of the panel being unable to see the claimant, this can be an advantage but also a disadvantage.

Thank you for you quick reply
Citizen advice have said to ring and ask for an adjournment following this up by letter. I won’t lie am very anxious and worried but on one hand it will all be over in 3 weeks rather than waiting for a face to face tribunal

You can ask for the adjournment but unless you can show that you would be disadvantaged by a telephone hearing then I would be very surprised if the Judge in charge of your hearing will allow it.
