    Congratulations on winning your Tribunal @6319 that must be a relief?

    I know there are other members here also waiting to hear from the DWP after their own tribunals, but I'm afraid I don't know exact time scales on this. Hopefully it won't be too long for you, I'd be keen to know when you hear more :)

    It can take anything up to about 8 weeks to receive any money that's owed after a Tribunal win.

    Hi thanks for the congrats from member's
    Was overjoyed when first getting my tribunal win
    But as it's been nearly 3 weeks from that mood definitely lowered
    Thought DWP have to contact you pretty quickly just to acknowledge tribunal went against them
    After a long 18 months I'm happy I've won but what niggles me is
    DWP gave me 0 points and then 0 PTS on mandatory
    But in the end tribunal gave 
    13pts daily living
    10pts mobility

    No. HMCTS will have already contacted DWP with the decision notice. As i advised in a previous comment, it can take anything up to about 8 weeks, sometimes longer to receive any money that's owed.

    DWP have the same chance we do to appeal the decision. However, they can't just appeal because they disagree (like us) they first have to request the Statement of Reasons and Record of Proceedings from HMTCS within 1 month of the date of decision.

    Once they receive those they need to find the error in law before they can proceed any further. They sometimes request them but rarely appeal it. If they are requested, it doesn't mean they are appealing the decision.

    That's awful @6319 I'm so sorry you had that experience. I know so many have said about how difficult it has been trying to contact the DWP. Someone suggested ringing right on 9am and most people who have, have had a better chance of getting through.

    @6319 have you rang sscs? When I was waiting for DWP to contact me and my anxiety was off the scale I rang them and they told me DWP hadn’t appealed the tribunals decision which put my mind at rest

    I’ve been contacted and back payment made, can’t remember how long it took them to contact me but only a couple of weeks I think (not 6 weeks) you can search for my thread if you wanted to know

    it was a relief to be told they hadn’t appealed, hopefully you will hear soon, give an update to what sscs say 👍

    What is sscs? Sorry but I haven’t heard of that before. Unless you mean HMCTS which is the Tribunal.
