LCWRA Win after appeal that didn't happen!

So, I was semi active a few months ago here. I spoke about getting LCW and wanting to appeal.
I started an MR which was returned with an upholding of LCW. And eventually got the paperwork through, and there were so many inaccuracies, and outright lies. In places they even contradicted themselves.
I applied for an appeal, and was recently given 14 days notice. I felt lost initially as I had no idea what to do about evidence for them, or how to get it to them in time.
Yesterday I spent hours going through the paperwork and little evidence they had, which was very clear, I wrote down every place I disagreed and why. Talking points for the phone call with the court.
Today, they called 20 mins early, and told me the appeal tribunal won't be going ahead as the evidence was more than clear enough, and I should have had LCWRA from the start. So they had already made the decision!
I now have LCWRA, and in so much relief!
This on top of me having an operation to have my gallbladder removed a week ago XD
So guys, just don't give up. I didn't think things would go right, and feared the worst. Keep at it! If it needs to go to tribunal, do it! And ask for help, if you feel you need it. Without the guys here, I may have lost hope. Big thank you to you guys!

Since the appeal, I've heard nothing. Am I suppost to receive a letter from the tribunal, or DWP?
Sorry to be a pain.

If the decision was made by the Tribunal then they should have sent you the decision letter. If it was made by DWP then you should have received it from them.

Was tribunal. On 30th of Nov, but no news. Any idea, Poppy, how long it takes to receive news about the decision?
I know the change in payment can take up to 8 weeks, but I think I saw somewhere you'd receive info from the tribunal within a week.0 -
After a telephone hearing it can take up to 3 weeks to receive the decision letter but for you the decision was already made before the hearing took place so i have no idea why you haven't received the letter yet. You could try contacting HMCTS and ask them.

Never mind. Sorry Poppy. I should have checked my Email yesterday. They have sent me an email saying I'll receive info from HMCTS by the 19th of dec. So, all is well!
Thankyou very much for your help, Poppy, you're as awesome as ever!1 -
Glad you've heard from them and you're welcome
Thank you for the kind words too!
