    Hello @abbatony4950

    I'm sorry to hear that you've not simply been paid since the appeal hearing.

    Unfortunately, there may be little you can do to bring about payment until the case has been heard in the Upper Tribunal. This is because, like claimants, the DWP has the right to appeal First-tier tribunal decisions where there are grounds. However, it can only suspend payment when it has followed the correct procedure. This is to write to you informing you that it intends to appeal and that it does so within time, usually one month of the decision or the date the statement of reasons was issued. If you think this procedure may not have been followed correctly you should contact a local advice service for further help.
