For the first time in February 2022 I applied for child DLA for my son DLA rejected my DLA claim form then rejected my claim again at the DLA MR stage, so I went to tribunal where a Judge, Doctor, Disability Person, and a DWP representative was present, it was a frightening and anxious experience but I am glad I have won 5th June 2023 and I call DLA today and they said that they received my tribunal decision and it’s been given to there decision maker in the appeal team.

My questions I wanted to ask is 

1. Do the Dwp appeal against tribunal decisions?

2. What is the process now that the decision maker has my tribunal decision? 

3.How long does it take to get backdated payment? 

Thank you in advance

    Great news.
    1/ No, it's rare. They sometimes request the statement of reasons but rarely appeal it. If they request this it doesn't mean they are appealing.

    2/ you just need to wait for the award to be put into payment.

    3/ anything up to about 8 weeks.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
