    Hi Mizmoz,I have had my SOR through the post and I have read it about 5 times and for the life of me I can't see any errors of law but then again I'm no lawyer. The DWP have until the 8th of April to take it to the upper tribunal or pay me what they owe. As soon as I hear anything I will let you know

Now rang dedt management and they have sent my payment back to pip now as no money needs to be.taken off .So I am now at the final hurdle.

    I took your advice and phoned them this afternoon,it took 59 mins to get through to someone !!!. What they told me is just unbelievable.  They said that they received SOR on 8th March but no one has read it yet !!!!. The case worker who is in charge of my case has gone off work on 23rd March either on holidays or sick,I just can't believe it. I believe they only have a month to appeal after receiving SOR which has now passed but the girl on the phone wasn't sure about that. She said she will get in touch with the line manager and ask him to sort it out. What else can go wrong ,17 months and counting.

    Ace news @pewak hopefully the money will drop soon! It sounds like the case manager being off threw a fairly large spanner in the works, but I'm glad it's sorted now. :)
