Esa tribunial appeal

Dear all, Can you please tell me the length of time it takes for the tribunial to hear my case,it started in October 2011, now it is november. Thanks

In the current year, the average actual clearance time between the Department’s receiving an appeal and its being lodged with Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service was 35.2 days. This includes the time allowed for individuals to produce new evidence about their circumstances. The average time taken from receipt of an appeal at HMCTS to the date of the first appeal hearing was 23.2 weeks. That information covers 1 April to 31 August 2011, the latest period for which figures are available.

It therefore averages at 35.2 days plus 23.2 weeks from GL24 submitted to Tribunal date. The days quoted are presumed to relate to working days so it is 7 weeks plus 23.2 weeks equaling 30.2 weeks which is approx 8 months overall, plus with ongoing migration the waiting times can only get worse.

Crazydiamond,
am I correct in thinking that it's possible to put in a second claim once the waiting time for an appeal has gone past six months from the date the original decision not to grant ESA Limited Capacity to work, under the 'six month rule'?
Sorry to trouble you with this, but it's just something I wanted to sort out in my own mind for the future if it's needed.

Yes, it is indeed possible to reclaim ESA once 26 weeks has elapsed since the date of the original adverse ESA decision.

I hope this answers your question?

Crazydiamond, Gordon
Thank you both so much for taking the time to set my mind at rest. I thought I remembered something along those lines being said, but my memory is so bad these days I needed it confirmed by someone in the know.
Many thanks for all the good work you do, Penthesilie.
