What to do if you think this decision is wrong

independent tribunal. If you want to appeal, you must do so within one month of the date of this letter. Your
appeal must be in writing and sent to Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS).

for you to keep. Your appeal will not go ahead unless you include a copy r of this notification with your appeal.
How to get an appeal form
You can use the Tribunal’s Notice of Appeal form to make your appeal. Using this form will help you to make
