Hi @jaffacake, I'm really sorry this happened to you and that you've waited so long for your appeal. When did your MP send the last letter? Do you think they might be able to write a second letter to urge them on? Perhaps you could get in touch with them again to see if they have any advice or support to give.

Have you had any luck ringing the enquiry line to see if they know anything more about what's happening with your case? I know they can't always explain everything but it could be worth a go.

If you'd like to make a complaint to the DWP about how you've been treated, there's some information about how to do that here.

Hopefully some of our other members might have some advice too, I hope that you're able to get some answers and you get a decision through soon ❤️

Thats great news especially as it was a paper based hearing because those have a very low success rate.

Now you just need to wait for DWP to put the award into payment and pay what is owed. This can take anything up to about 8 weeks.

Have been asked if I’ve been on holiday ,prison ,or hospital why do they ask that .
mots been very stressful but worth the wait x

Being in hospital or prison for longer than 28 days affects the PIP. Being out of the country for longer than 13 weeks also affects it.
