DWP not fit for purpose!

Hmm, I guess I must have misread the other threads I've seen talking about the award being dated from  the tribunal decision!

Very sorry for any confusion I've caused. Seems a little silly if the person's condition is the same (or worse) at the tribunal that the award end date isn't determined from then. But still have the award pay from when you first applied.

No problem, it's always been the rules so i'm sure you misunderstoon what you read. 

They wouldn't take into consideration any worsening of condition since the assessment took place anyway. If there's any signs of a worsening of condition then this can actually go against you and they could give a shorter award, i've known this happen many times.

It's not about the back pay for me I've did that struggle already would of been nice just to have a bot of peace of mind knowing I'm OK for the next 4 years but I didn't even get that, definitely doesn't feel like a win yet .

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I'm sure it will feel completely different once your award is put into payment. Maybe you can treat yourself to something nice with the money they owe you.

I don't go out,I've got everythin I need don't want anything really . Would of been nice to try and get my life back as I have got a driving licence but I think the time it will take to try and get out I will have to start over again. I hope I feel differently soon but I really can't c it helping me right now thanks 4 comments tho 🙂
