Hello @dai80 Pleased to meet welcome. I am glad you joined.

The answer to your question I do not know. Some one from our community might know or our team.

Have you seen the information on benefits . They could be a answer there on the threads and posts.


Take care

It can take up to 13 weeks but most people receive it within a couple of weeks of winning their appeal or award

Keep watching your bank account it can get put in there before you get a letter from the DWP

They dont explain that keeping telling me they got 28days from apeal date will i get arrears and backdate money

They do have 28 days to appeal. That’s why it’s about 5 week, approximately.
yes the backdated money is paid in separately.

How long ago did you have your tribunal? Ive been told the average maximum date is 4-5 weeks. And im sure if DWP says it will be there tuesday it will. I dont think they’re allowed to say that if it isnt the case.
