Average time for disposals in the Social Security and Child Support Tribunal in Gloucester, for the period July – September 2017 was 24.6 weeks. The Social Security and Child Support Tribunal is the only Tribunal sitting in Gloucester.

HMCTS have identified a number of initiatives including new approaches to listing, targeted case management and Judicial/Panel recruitment which should assist in reducing the average time for disposals.
