Hi,

That's good news. 2 - 8 weeks sometimes longer after a Tribunal win.

Welcome to the community @tribunalwin Well done on your win! How are you feeling about it?

Thankyou and honestly I am feeling excited but also very anxious, nervous and worried as it's nearly 18 months of backdate and that terrifies me.

Congratulations on the win I was just wondering though whether there is any reason in particular that the 18 months of backpay terrifies you? Is it the anxiety over not knowing when it will be paid?

If you are worried about too much money in one go note taht before paying you DWP should offer you the opportunity to have the arrears paid in instalments over a period of time if that is what you would prefer.

It is just the amount of backdate but I have spoken to my family and will be supported by them with it.
