I thought I read somewhere that it was a bit quicker doing the online appeal as you don't always have to attend a tribunal, but I can't seem to find where I read it. I could be wrong though
It is quicker doing an online appeal than completing an appeal form SSCS1 and sending it off by recorded delivery. As far as I am aware face to face tribunals have not yet been sanctioned and only paper or telephone appeals are presently being heard.
