Build your case
Case deadline & decision tracker.
One missed deadline can matter more than twenty perfectly organised documents. Keep dates visible, identify where each one came from, and never assume somebody else has taken responsibility.
A4 printable worksheet. The PDF is a practical working tool; keep this web page for guidance and source links.
This tracker does not calculate legal deadlines for you. Enter dates from the actual decision letter, statutory guidance, appeal paperwork or professional advice. If a deadline is important and unclear, check it rather than guessing.
