The decision maker will be the one to sort out any payment, calculate backpay, put the award in payment, produce the award letter and get any payments authorised

Thanks @janer1967 I thought it would be because they want to appeal the decision the tribunal had made.

Surely they aren't allowed to do that?? Disagree with the tribunal? What's the point if thats the case? ☹️?

janer1967

The dwp can appeal the decision just like you can

As above they have to find an error in law to be able to do so

They would request a statement of reasons from court and then find an error

All tribunal award go to decision maker to take the action I explained it us dwp that put the award into payment not tribunal

Also a long way off but when you are awarded by tribunal when the award ends you need to put in a new claim and will be notified of this 14 weeks before it end's

Blimey i thought when it finally went to tribunal that would be it?! I am so glad i didnt get that far or need to because i would of been an anxious mess for literally months longer!
Well @Popdiva43 ? at least you are hopefully near the end of your journey through the depths of dispair aka the dwp PIP process ??? im sure like @janer1967 said its just how it gets put back into payment! And as @woodbine says they rarely do the other thing! X

Both parties (you and the DWP) involved in a First Tier Tribunal hearing have a right of appeal to the Upper Tribunal but, as others have explained above, this is not simply to go over everything yet again, it has to be about a point of law and such an appeal can only be made after first obtaining a Statement of Reasons from the First Tier Tribunal. In an SoR the tribunal judge has to explain in detail how the tribunal reached the decision it did.

if successful at an Upper Tribunal the UT will sometimes remake the decision but more often will refer the case back to the First Tier Tribunal which means that another tribunal hearing has to take place.

Well I will let you all know what happens

Emilyb81

Oh ok thanks @calcotti and @janer1967 for explaining that! ??
I say again i am so glad i didnt have to deal with this tribunal stage because it seems there is no point through the process when id of been able to rest, relax or just not panic or be anxious anymore because it can go back and forth i had no idea until today! Good to know for future reference though so yes thankyou guys!!
And seriously @Popdiva43 i very much doubt they are going to drag it out any longer than necessary! And its obviously just how it works? So it has to go to the DM first ?? to be fair i know ive only been here a relatively short time but in that time ive read just about every single post thats posted in this area and ive not seen anyone have that happen? Or at least nobody has said anything about it until today! So im sure you will be fine ☀️?? take care everyone! Xx

Emilyb81

Makes a lot of sense now yes but ive never been in any kind of legal or court situation so i didnt have a clue until today but i guess I've not needed to know until now?
Anyway now I do so another thing learned by being in this forum! Thankyou ???
