Are you sure that it was a woman from the DWP who was representing the DWP that was questioning you?
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.

There was 3 women in front of me 1 the judge .1 the doctor and the women from dwp .so do they have to wait until the 28 days r up or can they decide in that time .i mean if they decide not to appeal can they pay me what im owed with in that 28 days or do thay have to wait till the 28 days r up ****

Hi @manthyfin, congratulations! From what others have said, it seems to take between 5-8 weeks to put a tribunal decision into payment.
