Great news. If that's what you've been told then it should be in your account tomorrow. If not then ring them again. Good luck.

It can take 8 weeks to receive any backdated money owed after a Tribunal win.

What was the Tribunal for and what is your face to face assessment for? ESA or PIP?

katie3

Thank you and they’ve both for pip I had appeal two weeks ago and won’t it yesterday got text for another assessment 

poppy123456

Did you have a PIP award before you went to the Tribunal? or did you re-apply while you were waiting for the hearing?

katie3

I never retried why I was waiting but mine ends in feb so think that may Been the reason why

Hi everyone, I won my appeal on the 21st of May . Well done to everyone who also won . They put us through the mill . I haven’t heard anything and wondering if I should have sent my letter to the Dwp?

Great news. There's no need to send anything to DWP because the Tribunal will have already done that. Backdated money can take 8 weeks after a Tribunal win. Hopefully not too long now.
