Hi,No, it's not paid while waiting for the MR. Upper Tribunal? The next stage after the MR is first tier Tribunal and not upper Tribunal.If the MR decision remains the same, once the Tribunal accept your appeal and you have your reference number then you can go back onto assessment rate (providing you weren't found fit for work for failing to attend the assessment) but you'll need fit/sick notes from your GP to claim this.0

Hi and thanks for your reply,So no assessment rate during the MR progress only when you take it to a tribunal if the MR remains the same?
Also I don't mean being found fit for work for failing to attend a assessment I meant being found fit for work AFTER attending a WCA0 -
No, you won't be paid assessment rate while waiting for the MR, only after the Tribunal have accepted an appeal.

What's the rough waiting time for a tribunal to load your appeal on their system?
Meanwhile I know some claim jsa while waiting the outcome but I won't be doing that as firstly you making yourself available for work and secondly I'm in receipt of the enhanced rate daily living pip..0 -

Is it not possible that you could do some type of work?

You do need to check that your area isn't a full universal credit area though. If it is then you won't be able to claim JSA and if you claim UC then you won't be able to go back onto ESA.
