The appeals process is detailed and every claim is considered on the basis of the grounds cited, evidence provided and the sequence of events leading up to the decision.
Due to this complexity it can sometimes take a long time for an appeal decision to be reached.
If you believe that one or more of the grounds for appeal can be demonstrated (listed here) and you can provide evidence to support your case you may submit an appeal for a review of the decision.
Without relevant evidence provided alongside your appeals form, appeals claims may be rejected.
