Normally the DWP have 28 days to decide and lodge an appeal against the Tribunal's decision if you won the case.
There are limited grounds for doing so, but they have the right.
After that 28 days has expired and the DWP accept the Tribunal's decision it will take a few days maybe a few weeks to get the award into payment.
All parties have the same rights. 28 days in which to request a full statement of reasons and the record of proceedings. Only upon receipt of those will a decision be made as to whether to appeal further. So all DWP decide in that period is whether they’re going to bother to request anything.
To clarify... if DWP sent a presenting officer to an appeal they can indeed ask questions to clarify issues. However, most questions would come from the tribunal panel. Put simply, if you were asked questions by people in front of you then that’s the panel. If the questions came from someone to your side then that was the DWP PO.
