Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to appeal?
It depends on the type of decision and the route. The deadline is short, so the review must be immediate.
Is appealing always worth it?
No. If there are no real prospects we will say so clearly and look at alternatives.
The information on this page is indicative and updated in line with current regulations. Timing largely depends on the competent authority.
