I had my tribunal for lcwra on 2nd of Dec & they found in my favour. Since the tribunal I have heard nothing from dwp even to acknowledge that its been found in my favour. Spoke to my work coach last night & she thought I should've heard something by know. Does any1 know a number I can call to check up on progress?

    There's only the helpine that you can ring but they would only be able to do the same as you and put a message onto your journal. I would advise you to do that yourself and put it in the payment section and ask them.

    After a Tribunal win it can be up to 8 weeks, sometimes longer to recieve any money that's owed. DWP have the same chance we do to appeal the decision. Before they can do this they first need to request the Statement of Reasons from HMCTS. Once they receive this they need to find the error in law before they can go any further. They sometimes request it but rarely appeal it. If they have requested it then it can delay paying you what's owed and putting your award into payment.

    Very nervous at thought of calling I hate these kind of calls & get myself all worked up. I was hoping I would have heard from my work coach so I wouldn't have to call. So all I can do is try 2moro

    Hope it goes okay @KarenxTx, do you have anyone who can be with you while you call, for emotional support?

    Yeah @Alex_Scope my brother, so if I am struggling hopefully they'll let him speak on my behalf. He was the one who was with me during my tribunal & spoke for me then
