Hi
Began the appeal process in February and received confirmation from httcs that they had received my appeal.
Heard nothing more till 5 weeks ago court sent me a letter stating that they had had no response from dwp and directing them to send paperwork within 7 days . They also asked me to send all my paperwork to them as dwp haven't bothered. I did this immediately. My question is what happens if dwp still fail to respond which I'm assuming they haven't as I still haven't received any case files .

Hi @kentpete123 and a warm welcome to the community! It may be worth giving Citizens Advice a call as they'll be able to give you more detailed advice. There is also Local Advice if you want to get face to face advice. I hope you managed to get it sorted as it sounds like it'd be stressful!

Hi thanks for the reply
It's just weird because I can't find any reference to it happening before. I know they won't just find in my favour just slightly confused as to how dwp can get away with not engaging with the process at all. !!! -
I have to admit it's a new one to me! I'd definitely recommend getting specialist advice. Please do feel free to keep us updated in how you get on!Scope

@Chloe_Scope and if the tribunal find in my favour will the dwp acknowledge it or appeal because they weren't involved
-
@Chloe_Scope I rang tribunal service and all they said was dwp still haven't replied and I have to wait for a date for the hearing
-
It is not unheard of for DWP to not attend, but this shouldn't go against you. I hope you're not waiting too long for a date!

@Chloe_Scope I will keep you updated

@Chloe_Scope hi today I have received all paperwork from dwp but none of the medical info I sent to tribunal are included so still confused lol
-
You need to contact HMCTS because anything you send them should them should be sent to DWP by them.
-
Not sure if this is from dwp not tribunal as it says they have sent a copy to hmcts and my representative @poppy123456
-
But I thought they send it to tribunal then tribunal distribute it
-
Hi @kentpete123 and thank you for updating us! Like @poppy123456 has said, you'll need to contact HMCTS about this.

The bundle is sent from DWP. If there's evidence missing from this that you've sent to HMCTS then it's these you need to contact because they should have sent this to DWP. As you have a representative, they should be explaining all of this to you.
-
Ok I'll ring them it's very difficult to get to see my representative as they are really busy
-
@poppy123456 quick update I phoned HMTCS they received my medical evidence on 7th of June she is going to look into why it hasn't been sent out and send it if nessecary. I also asked when I should expect the tribunal......at Margate where mine will be, the waiting time is currently 60 weeks!!!!!! And I'm on week 22 so won't be this year

Once they have a new date they will contact you. Hopefully not too long. You'll need to make sure you send the evidence they've asked for within that time frame. Good luck.
