There's nothing more you can do. It can take up to 8 weeks after a Tribunal win.

Hi
I am in the same position as yourself won my tribunal and it’s just up to a month and not heard anything . My anxiety etc through the roof with worry and waiting !
BUT after stressing so much ringing PIP for updates and getting nowhere then coming on the forum and airing my worries and asking for help to calm me down I was offered sensible advice and 
to wait to hear from them as there is nothing more I can do .
It is stressful and exhausting waiting but being on here is really good and people help you put your anxiety into perspective.

yes I’m still stressed but I can’t do anything to make it happen any quicker so I just take each day as it comes waiting .
Hope this helps you a little ?

Did u win ur tribunal and when did h have urs

Yes I won mine and the 6th of June so it’s still early really as yet to hear anything ( my anxiety doesn’t let me think like that sometimes and I panic ) but I will say again people’s advice on here is very good and my health was getting worse with stressing about hearing from PIP so I’m telling myself I waited nearly 9 months for my tribunal so I’m going to have to wait some more for it to be sorted .

They said 7-10 working days for me after the 9th of June then they said

I don't know why they are telling you this, was it the PIP call centre that advised this? As you know, it's up to 8 weeks after the Tribunal made the decision.

It’s a nightmare to get through to time I was on the phone waiting for like 4 hours and no one to get through I wish I could complain it’s so annoying I cried yesterday as I want to help me family out financially

Please trust me when I say the more anxious you will get about it the more it does take over worrying .

I just tell myself that yes I hope and pray 🙏 it’s soon but I can’t do anything to make it come faster unfortunately.

It is hard though I fully understand

Best thing to do is to think about something else. Ringing them constantly isn't going to help you.

That was the best advice I was given by Poppy when it was taking me over with anxiety and worrying when I would hear or receive  something from them .

Doing something else which stops you over thinking can help if that makes sense ?

My partner won his. 31st, exactly 4 wks today, he’s heard nothing, I’ve phoned many times and I’ve learnt nothing new, the tribunal win was logged on their system 1st June that’s all they ever say, so like @mistakes65 has said, there’s no point in phoning, cause at the end of the day it just heightens your own anxiety.

I just wait and and see
