So I won my tribunal couple weeks ago rang them today and they told me it’s still with decision maker but the deadline is the 14th of march what does this mean and also said that by 14th march the letters etc should be updated on the system so confused

The only deadline i can think of is the 1 month to request the SOR but if your hearing was only a couple of weeks ago then it can't be that. After a Tribunal win it can take up to about 8 weeks to pay what's owed. All you can do is wait.

Yeah I know all that poppy but the man on the phone said it’s with decision maker and there’s a date of 14th march It has be done by that’s why I’m confused 

joey1990000

If they where thinking of appealing would they tell you on the phone as didn’t say nothing about appealing or sor or anything ?

When phoning DWP you are actually speaking to someone from an outsourced call centre, they don’t have a full understanding of the benefit system.

I get that as well but the man read it from the screen I said want an update he said with the decision maker still but there’s a date of 14th march and I don’t understand

Is anyone able to give me advice on this please

I'm not aware of any deadline for putting your award into payment after a Tribunal win. I don't know what other advice you would like. I know it's frustrating having to wait but you've done everything you can do for now so you'll need to wait.

Try to focus on something else.

I know that is it right what the other user said that they are just call centres and don’t actually know what they talking about but can’t see why he would say 14th march to just make it up 

bg844

You’re overthinking this, as Poppy has said above there’s no deadline for putting an award in to payment. I honestly don’t know what the 14th date is and can’t imagine he’d be making something up but it’s not official protocol to have a date for these sorts of things.

That aside, please do let us know if you do hear anything close after that date.

Hi I had the same what they mean its with the decision maker to decide how far they should backdate it too 

joey1990000

@jsl2406 that’s what I was thinking did say to you that they have to have it done by a certain date ?

jsl2406

Yes just like yourself mate my advice you know you have was n now just be a little patient mate and focused on some thinking else if you focus every second of everyday you will become a prisoner of you're own mind and that will be harder yo leave behind you're stressing yourself out for something that eventually will arrive soon mate well done on you win at court and remember when you get you're backdated payment its yours and not the fake friends whole are sure to crawl back out the woodwork mate just remember those who were always there for you those are you're true friends whether you have money or not good luck mate

jsl2406

You know you have won you're case just relax mate

There's no deadline. Of course it's with a decision maker because they are the only ones that can put the award into payment. I know it's difficult but please try to focus on something else. Ringing PIP so often like this can't be helping you.
