    Hey I was so lucky I think time wise .They have received the judge dealt with mine straight away .Dwp decided that my award good to go but sent it to dedt management. 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. Hope you get this sorted real soon .I did ring though a lot xxxx

    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.

    It's  nightmare. They do only have 1 month to appeal .OK next time ask to speak to someone in the appeals team .Just in case they didn't do that today .Ring again tomorrow .Don't worry it will all work out its just horrible waiting .Xxx

    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. :)
