Hi all, not sure if this is just good news for me or perhaps many others as well who are waiting for a PIP tribunal.
Got a letter today from Tribunal Services saying the Appeals Officer has revised the decision on your case and the new decision is a more favourable one, your appeal has now lapsed. I thought initially how dare they as I have only sent in a very brief outline of my appeal and not had the chance to submit any further evidence.
Having spoke to someone at TS was told that the appeal has lapsed because the DWP have withdrawn from the case without giving any reason. Just checked my bank account and have been paid a PIP back payment from when they initially stopped my claim, which puts me back to the same position before they cancelled it.
Not sure why this has happened but it did cross my mind that it might be more to do with this:
