What Should I Do If My Appeal Is Unsuccessful?

AI Summary

If your appeal is unsuccessful, you can request that your case be reviewed by an independent tribunal. Here's a quick overview of the steps you can take:

Step Details
1. Request Tribunal Review If you're unhappy with the appeal outcome, ask for your case to be looked at by an independent tribunal. The Tribunals Service will notify you about the date, time, and place of the hearing.
2. Further Appeal If either you or the council is dissatisfied with the tribunal's decision, an appeal can be made to the Social Security Commissioners.
