    Still after all this time the DWP and ATOS.  or what ever they call them selves now to sugar coat the fact that they’re a bunch of “ expletives “ it’s the same story time after time even though they claim that they want to help , I really don’t need to elaborate on what that story is as no doubt we have all been through it , hopefully one day karma will pay them a visit

    Hello to all again ,, as quoted above my tribunal was on 3 October ,  and very traumatic it was , Judge quoted I will be notified by post,  posted above of the day and thank those who responded to me helped very much indeed , I thank you sincerely ,,, and  the person   who had their fingers crossed for me , I thank you also
    Today Saturday 5 Oct, I had a letter stating on the back , if not returned return to ******* !! , I bought the letter to the table and sat down , I stared at the letter for some time not wanting to open it, I feared the worst and did not want to open it , I wanted somebody with me ,but there was nobody there , 

    I started to open letter to with shaking hands, started to read  letter 5 pages , first 3 pages was about about appeals , it was at that stage my feeling was I lost my appeal,, with my anxiety my  reading became faster and my brain/thoughts could not handle . STOP,,, I started again to read more calmly then by the time I came to page 4 , it hit me ,STOP ,, I read it again, there it was  
    APPEAL is ALLOWED  and entitled to living /mobile component from 21/01/2019 to 21/01/2024 
     I inhaled then exhaled very slowly , then broke down and cried , I recovered and phoned my sister , trying to remain calm and as I stated to talk I broke down again, from there she thought Iost appeal but as I recovered I told her I won my appeal and understood of feelings 
    Any how back to reality this post is to all who are going through these legislations  by our government, the tribunal is very fare , the Judge especially , the doctor , not too sure about him with the10 buses (above post) and there was A lady who seemed to be a specialist in how what our needs are .

     This post is of my feelings with anxiety did not help me but for all those that read my post , which is to give yourself confidence   in the tribunal , it is fare and honest and I wish you all well and success in recovery of what you all deserve , 
    all the best , Will

    P.S.
    C.A.B and lady Katy with  face to face who helped me in bringing this achievement for me , but I must say
    I would like to quote this site "SCOPE" is a valuable to our society/community  to share with people/persons
    in our community  also the Admins who look after/monitor  our correspondence  , a big "THANKYOU"

    I know the feeling of not wanting to open the letter then not being able to make sense of it due to the mind some where else , even though I got full rate for both criteria and a few thousand pounds back dated money, all I could think about is the 3 years of hell the DWP and ATOS put me through , it makes me laughing when I see people complaining about the money and the exemptions disabled people get from able bodied people as they clearly have no idea of the **** you have to go through and act like the DWP just give you money no questions asked , if only they knew

    @corblimey indeed SIR , what I don't understand is how the Government allow this ,where  these tribunals is costing 1.2 million pounds per week , I do feel for the elderly who need these entitlements , but put through a trauma over a long period which is never ever justified, even with BBC who never report truths , if they do report truths it's edited to the governments scrutiny and even ,more brutal of BBC when they they  attack the elderly , 75's , any way Sir that s enough rant off me , I wish you a good pleasant weekend ,,,Will

    Hello to all, to reiterate ,thank you all who have acknowledged my post/s  it has been so helpful in coping of this Its been 7 days now after my DWP (DWP Present at hearing )  appeal being allowed. Got letter from courts Saturday   5 October  confirming with review to 21/01/2024   DWP officer was present and Judge finishing the  hearing ,asked DWP officer if he had any questions or quote to add , but nothing was quoted . I understand  DWP can appeal this in a time period , If allowed understand my payments will be backdated and payment will be commenced until review at a later date  21/01/2024 , How long a period of time does it take for the DWP  , for PIP  to commence again. Do I need to call DWP   
    regards Will

    Hi @Willwill, congratulations on winning your appeal!
    If you win your appeal
    If your appeal is successful, you’ll get an official notice in the post within a couple of weeks. You’ll receive your new amount of money every 4 weeks.

    The DWP will also have to pay you everything they should have been paying you from the date of your claim. It normally takes 4 to 6 weeks for this money to come through.

    You will not need to contact them further, unless the payments don't start within this time frame. :)

    @Chloe_Scope thank you for coming back to my posting,, on your quote of  ""official notice"" .My Tribunal was on 3/10/ 2019  and a "decision notice" from the court was posted to my home address on 5/10/2019 
    My question is :- is the decision notice from the court the ""official notice"" or is there  an "official notice"  from the DWP to be sent to me at my home address 
    regards Will

    UPDATE on tribunal

    DWP phoned today 16/10/19 ,, asking me questions , have  I been in hospital , have I been I prison ect and confirming my bank details . there was quote to say this would be passed on to another office for back payment

    I was quite surprised as the Tribunal was on the 3/10/19 and received  my appeal by post notice on Saturday 5/10/19 , I was going to wait for 30 days before I would contact them , in case DWP  appealed decision another quote DWP would next contact me by post of payment ect , but to check my bank as payment would probably  be in before post arrived , not sure how long that will take but so relieved 
    I would like to thank all on this forum who have helped me along the way in correspondence , a big THANKYOU
    all the best Will
