Hello,
Apologises in advance if this has been asked and answered before. How long does it take for an appeal to be heard? Thank you in advance
Kind regards,
M.

Hi Marie,
In truth it depends on your area, but then it can be random. Maybe within 3 months or possibly up to a year.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Hello again,
I have completed the form for my appeal on the above subject, with the help of advicelocal! The adviser completed the appeal form with me, via the telephone last Thursday(12th June)whilst they were completing it online at their end , my deadline date was 6th of June, however I didn’t receive the final MR decision until the 9th of June!
The chap at advicelocal did advise that mitigating circumstances i.e, evidence gathering, delayed post etc…would be accepted even if it’s went by the date to respond to the MR notices and to lodge my appeal! My question is will the appeal board accept my appeal and do they take it account mitigating circumstances that has delayed my appeal submission? Many thanks for any help/ advice/feedback it would be most welcomed as always!
Kind regards,
Marie.

Hi Marie,
As long as you have provided a reasonable excuse - all of the scenarios you have mentioned would comprise a good excuse. Normally there is no problem and DWP accept the appeal. If (which has never once happened to any of my cases or to anyone I know) DWP disagreed you have a right of appeal on this point yo the tribunal.
I hope this helps.
