DWP call before tribunal to discuss award.

PedroJ

Hi guys, recently lost my pip award and am at the point of tribunal. This morning I've had a call from a guy at the DWP to go over evidence and ask some questions about my condition in the hope of settling without the need of a tribunal. He said he would review the information I had provided and get back to me by telephone call with the results.

Has anyone else had this before? How long did it take to hear back with your decision after the call?

Thanks in advance.

When you request a Tribunal DWP will review all the evidence you sent and may offer an award but it's rare they do this. If they do offer an award you can accept it, wait for the award to be put into payment and if you're not happy you can request the Tribunal again. This would be good if you don't currently have a PIP award in place. At least then you'll be receiving some money while you wait for the hearing.

I have no idea how long it will take for them to ring you back, hopefully not too long.

Just had my phone call and they've decided to reinstate my award! Can't believe it, the whole tribunal thought has been so stressful.

Well done! Can I just ask did they phone near your tribunal date or shortly after you requested a tribunal?
