Hi Assed444, I don't know for sure sorry. I applied in Aug 22, had Asessesment on phone Dec 22. Turned down and applied for Mandatory Reconsideration Feb 23, that was turned down then went to Tribunal in March 24. Was awarded standard for Daily Living to 2027. Don't know if that helps at all. I do hope you don't have to wait so long, DWP were present at my Tribunal and the Panel suggested I was owed an apology. I can't remember that they did apologise. I was supported by a lady from the benefits team at my local housing association whom I rent from.

The length of time a decision takes is no indication of what that decision maybe. Some cases take longer than others.

They've always had the ability to check bank accounts if the suspect fraud. They won't just check for no reasons at all and yes, if needed they can check all accounts.

Hey, they've been doing checks for some time now. Often they will need all bank accounts when it comes to means-tested benefits as they need to ensure you meet the means-testing. They will usually ask for 4-6 months worth of statements unless there is reason to look back further.

Hi

I am saying that everyone is saying the dwp all checking the bank statement it sounds like they starting recently but i dont know so i just wanted to know when are they started these?

You are missing the point we are trying to make. They've always had the ability to check bank accounts if they suspect fraud. They won't check for no reason.

If your wife does not get LCWRA or LCW and is not classed as a Carer and does not have very young children, then she most likely will be treated as a job seeker and expected to attend work related appointments.

As the youngest child is over 3 years old, the parent will still be expected to look for work, for up to 30 hours per week.

That hasn't started yet. The proposal is that people on health related benefits (such as LCWRA) can try working without immediately being reassessed or losing their benefits.
