Appeal to the Upper Tribunal (Administrative Appeals Chamber)
Overview
You may be able to appeal to the Upper Tribunal (Administrative Appeals Chamber) if you think there was a legal mistake with a decision made against you by certain lower tribunals and organisations.
You might be able to appeal if your case was about:
- social security or child support
- war pensions and armed forces compensation
- mental health
- special education needs or disabilities
- a dispute that was heard by the General Regulatory Chamber
- a decision made by the Disclosure and Barring Service
- a decision made by the Traffic Commissioner (or the Transport Regulation Unit in Northern Ireland)
There are also other cases that the tribunal deals with.
There’s a different process if your case is about criminal injuries compensation.
The tribunal is independent of government and will listen to both sides of the argument before making a decision.
You’ll need to apply to Northern Ireland commissioners if your case was heard in Northern Ireland and was about social security or war pensions.
