Appeal a decision against financial assistance for a reservist
After you send your appeal
You’ll be told straight away when your appeal has been received.
You’ll also be given:
- a case name
- a case number
- an address for sending any further letters and documents to the tribunal
- a date for your hearing - it’ll usually be within 28 days of the tribunal getting your appeal
You’ll normally find out within a week of sending your notice of appeal:
- whether the tribunal will consider your case
- whether the Armed Forces opposes the appeal and why
- if the tribunal needs more information
You’ll get another letter a few days before the hearing telling you what documents to bring with you, or send by post in advance.
Witnesses
The tribunal may suggest witnesses. You must contact them and make sure they appear at the hearing.
The tribunal can force witnesses to appear at the hearing if you’re unable to do it yourself - the tribunal will tell you how.
