Hi all , after over a year of waiting I had my tribunal to be placed in support group for LCWRA which I won. How long will it take to have my decision overturned and given backdated money ? I am in N. Ireland , thank you

Hi there

Good news on the tribunal win 

It can take a while estimate around 8 weeks but some get it a lot sooner 

Are you on uc or esa 

If uc keeo checking your statements and when old ones change to show extra payments the back pay has been calculated so will then need authorising
