in PIP, DLA, ADP & AA

Hope someone can help me with this. So I appealed my PIP claim to the the appeals tribunal and I was sent a txt saying the DWP had until 26/06/26 to respond by sending me a copy and sending one to the court but they have not. So the question is do I have to contact the tribunal and tell them I have not received a response from the DWP or will they already know and sort it out from there end.

    Hi,

    You don't need to do anything. The DWP rarely meet these 'deadlines'. The CTS will give them a reminder.

    Ok, thanks, I was just wondering if I need to do something but good that I do not and hopefully the DWP move it and get it to the tribunal soon.

    The usual process in most court action is that if the Respondent doesn't respond then the case can be decided without them.

    It might be different for benefit appeals, but it shouldn't be.

    You don't need to inform the tribunal, but if it helps to give you peace of mind, then you can do.

    Thank you @Hairyloon much appreciated.

    I 🤞 and hope I get updated soon.

    Yes I read different things on Google, some said it will be decided with out the DWP response, some said the tribunal will give them a little bit more time and some said a combination of the two, so giving them a extra week or so and if still nothing they will decide without them. So will see what happens.
