Is it usual for DWP to request SOR?

steven75

Hi I won my tribunal was awarded enhanced care and mobility a Fortnite ago after an 18 month rigermarole Now found out that dwp have applied for a request of reasons I’m hoping someone can tell me if it’s known is this usual is this just them trying it on and postpone the inevitable or is it quite a high percentage that get found in there favour to go to tier 2 as judges have been found to make a lot of mistakes in law I’ve almost lost my home on aug9 only saved it the evening 8th and will be in the same situation soon if I don’t get something sorted in my favour Any info or advice much appreciated Thank you Rob

Hi and welcome

It is not unusual for the DWP to request a SoR but they seldom take it further. It normally takes 6-8 weeks for DWP to put a tribunal decision into payment but you may have to take the Xmas period into account

Hi thanks for getting back to me so fast 
so do u think it’s just yet another weapon in there arsenal to try get people to fall by the wayside and not push the claim 
and it’could just be another stalling tactic 
to see if they can save the money 
although I got this far I’d never stop now but it was such a sickly feeling came over me when I was informed this morning I thought my sky had fallen in 
as we’ve been just getting to each hurdle and it was a battle to do that so thought that was it 
thank you

Hi,

I know it's worrying that they've asked for the SOR but there's really nothing more you can do but wait. Hopefully it won't be too long but it can take 8 weeks before they pay you what they owe you.

Thank you all your stars I think I’ve just Automatically thought because they requested the sor
that this is a beginning of a journey that can’t fight and is only headed in one direction and not in my favour 
you all have helped thank you
