Tribunal

I have a date to go for my appeal for ESA  will it be the same as the pip tribunal and appart from the bundle should I take anything else with me

Hi,

It's similar to PIP but it has different criteria. Any extra evidence you have should be sent to arrive no later than 10 days before the hearing date. Just the bundle is all that's needed. Good luck.

We wish you the very best of luck with your appeal @shell73!

shell73

Ok thank you 

shell73

It was ok bit daunting like but I was placed and n support group which I am pleased about and if it wasn't for poppy telling me what to do on another post when I failed my ESA assessment I think I may of given up but didn't so thank you will I receive any extra than I'm on now or does it mean I stay the same but no longer have to send sick notes in

@shell73 brilliant news!! Yes, you'll receive backdated money with the difference between assessment rate and Support Group Income Related rate, which is £55.35 per week. I can't remember if you were previously in a group before you were found fit for work or if you were on assessment rate.

You'll need to continue to send those sick notes until you hear from DWP. Backdated money can take 8 weeks,

Ok and thank you once again I was on assessment rate and thanks again

You're welcome! then your money will be backdated to the 14th week of your claim.

Hi,

In this situation then it's different so i wouldn't know the percentage. Sometimes HMCTS do make a decision without needing to attend, especially if it's obvious from your evidence which group you should be in. You should receive a letter with the decision in the next few days. Good luck.
