    It will be the old rate before 10th April and the new rate from that date, therefore it will be mostly the old rate. It can take anything up to about 8 weeks to pay what is owed and put the award into payment.

    That sounds like a plan @Texus36 thanks for sharing and congratulations on winning your tribunal!

    I think if I could, I might treat myself to a little holiday, but at the end of the day, you can use the money however you wish to :)
