When will NIS tribunal be set up?

Dear Editor,
Over five years ago I made a claim to the National Insurance Scheme for Survivors’ Benefit.  In June 2007 I was told that my matter had been referred to a tribunal before which I would be required to appear. Almost two years later I am still waiting to be summoned before the tribunal as, I believe, are others whose matters were there both before and after mine.
I am getting tired of waiting and would really like someone to tell me when this tribunal going to be set up.

Yours  faithfully,
R  Williams
