    Heya @sara1988 and welcome. 😊

    Huge congratulations on your appeal win, that's brilliant news! Is April 20th correct? That seems like a very long time to be waiting? It may be worth contacting your MP to see if they can chase this up for you. They tend to be very good at that kind of thing.

    Ok that makes more sense then @sara1988 I thought you'd been the worlds most patient person then. 😆

    It can take a few weeks (sometimes up to 8) for the tribunal and DWP to cross the Ts and dot the Is, so I'd try not to worry too much. But if they've not got back to you in another week, I'd suggest giving them another call. If that doesnt work, I always suggest speaking to your local MP, they can often chase things up very quickly.

    It's usually anything up to 8 weeks following a Tribunal decision.

    I have lost my appeal, and according to the letter that I have received, I will not be aloud to appeal again.

    You can only take things further if the appeal tribunal made an error of law
