Appeals

What the tribunal will look at

The tribunal can only look at the evidence, the law and the circumstance at the time we made the decision that you are appealing against.

The tribunal cannot look at changes of circumstances that happened after we made the decision.

If a change of circumstances could affect your benefit or means you could claim again, you should report the change straight away. Do not wait for the appeal tribunal hearing. Contact us using the details shown on your decision letter.
