in PIP, DLA, and AA
hi!
After a year of worry and an hour and ten minutes of grilling and embarrassment and tears I was awarded enhanced for both, they gave me a letter there and then and said it was a majority vote
i called DWP who said they received the document for the court. How long before I receive the documents from them so I can try and get a mobility vehicle as the one I’m borrowing is being sold

    Also can DWP over rule the tribunal?

    The DWP have a month to appeal the tribunal decision so the award takes about 5 weeks for any money to be paid.
    Congratulations on winning

    Iv never read of them actually doing so so try not to worry.
    I don’t understand the logic really, you appeal, go through tribunal but they still make you wait another month of worrying!

    Im not sure if you called DWP if they’d advise as to what happens re mobility car. I don’t have one so I’m not sure, call them or mobility might know

    I’m just going to ring Motability now to see if I can do that as the letter gave the reasons and points awarded. When I went to the garage they said they needed a code? I only won last week?
