DWP appealing the tribunal's decision

Hi everyone, I need some advice regarding winning my appeal at the tribunal. I got a letter from DWP yesterday and they are appealing against my decision. I have mental health problems and it's not doing my health any good. Please can you advise me me on this matter, I am new to this. thanks.

Welcome to Scope's online community! It's great to have you on board.
I'm sorry to hear about the problems you're having with your appeal and the stress it is causing you. I've moved this post into our Ask a Benefits Advisor category, where @BenefitsTrainingCo will be able to offer further support.
Couple of quick questions
1) Have the tribunal accepted your appeal ?
2) The letter you have received is it a big bundle of paperwork ?
As per what everyone has said above, the letter you have received does not necessarily mean that the DWP will appeal, it just means they might, and if they do request permission to appeal, they may not be granted it, as the judge would have had to make an error of law, not simply a decision they disagree with.
The only thing you can do at present is wait and see what they do. If they decide to appeal, it's worth trying to find a rep local to you to have a look at the papers, or if you can't find one, feel free to come back here and we can give you some information on how you might proceed.
Unfortunately, your benefit will not be paid until they have made their decision not to appeal.
Hope this helps, and do get back in touch if you need to!
Kind regards,
Mary
