Hi @dion, as @Username_removed says this is just routine rather than a case of you being singled out, although I can empathise with why you would be feeling anxious about it. Please do keep us updated, and I hope today's a good one!1

DWP have 28 days to request the statement of reasons, this doesn't mean they're appealing the decision. It won't be the first time DWP have requested the statement of reasons. As i advised yesterday on one of your threads, DWP have to find an error in law before they can appeal the decision. There's nothing more you can do but wait, i'm afraid.0

Hello all I thought I would update u to my situation I still not heard from dwp not even a letter I called the tribunals Friday and told no statement of reasons requested as of then, called doe Monday told by the lady thay are deffo challenging it so I'm no nearer to finding out what's going on I got appointment with my key worker Friday to chase them up but it's been nearly 5 weeks now since I won appeal. Hope people can learn from this that the dwp don't have to agree with it and can challenge it. Hope this post educates people on the new tactics dwp and seeming to pull now.0

Thanks for updating us @dion. From what we've heard from others it can take at least 5-8 weeks for a tribunal win to be put into payment. However, glad to hear that you're keeping on top of it with your key worker. Fingers crossed you'll have better news soon!1

Just called tribural and told no statement of reasons asked for yet so called dwp lady told me all it says is decision to appeal put on my file and thay have till 16th October to respond and I will get a letter telling me what thay are gonna do but that's not good enough thay not saying why there going to appeal so still in the dark

As they haven't asked for the SOR yet this most likely means they have until this date to request it. They still can't appeal without finding the error in law first.

Hi everyone sorry to say nearly 6 weeks now and still no nearer to finding out what is going on with my esa. My drug worker called them Friday and he was told on my file all it says is going to challenge tribural win and that was the last entry put in it don't say why or no up dates so drug worker asked them for a call back to explain there self and he would call me to let me no what thay say, well it's now Monday afternoon and I still not heard nothing, sometimes no news is good news I hope so in my case. I'm going crazy worrying about the outcome and pray I find out asap keep fingers crossed for me please people. Hope u all have a great day0

There's really nothing more you can do but wait. The advice you received a couple of days ago is the same now.
