Q. About my tribunal

I requested a tribunal as explained in my other thread, my question is the email from the tribunal states that the DWP have been informed and will respond by the 21 October if they don’t respond the tribunal will send them a reminder

as it is now the 26 October do I have to do anything as I’ve not heard anything and when I log in to track my progress online it just says the DWP will respond by the 21 October 

thanks

    You don't need to do anything.

    Received a txt yesterday that DWP have responded and they have wrote to me to tell me why I wasn’t awarded pip

    is this right ?

    I've not known them do that. What usually happens is you will be sent the "bundle" which will contain everything you sent, including the PIP2 form, the assessment report and DWPs response.

    Very likely you are passing through more Mandatory reconsiderations.
    One of my cases was sorted on that point. DWP admitted the mistake, and the tribunal banned my case-
    That is slightly misleading. It isn’t another MR at this stage. It is true that DWP may reconsider their decision between MR and tribunal - usually this is done prior to issuing the bundle so this could still happen.

    If the DWP revise the decision then the appeal will lapse because the decision being appealed no longer exists it isn’t the tribunal ‘banning’ the appeal.

    Not received anything in the post yet

    As i advised, the next thing you'll receive will be the bundle because DWP have now responded. The message mentions a hearing date which means DWP have not changed their decision at this stage.

    Thanks @poppy123456 you’ve put my mind at ease as I didn’t understand the ‘response’ part of the message

    Hi all

    i have another question please

    as I already said I received a txt on the 2nd November telling me DWP have responded to my appeal and that the DWP have written to me with a response although I’ve not received anything yet

    today I receive another txt telling me to send any evidence so that it can be reviewed before the hearing (I haven’t got a date yet)

    my q is as I haven’t received the bundle yet I don’t know what to send

    You don’t need to send anything that you’ve already sent DWP because this will be in your bundle when you receive it.

    Thanks @poppy123456 the only thing is I can’t remember what dwp have now I’m worrying that if I wait for the bundle it might not leave time for me to send or them review what I’ve sent

    im thinking about just sending what I have again, would this be ok ?

    You can send them again but you should receive the bundle very soon, if you don't you need to contact HMCTS to ask them to send it. You can't attend your hearing without this.

    Sorry to be a pain

    received the bundle this morning and I have sent everything I have, although do I send real life instances or just explain these on the day of tribunal ?

    If you haven’t written your submission then you can use the real world examples in that. Remember they won’t take into consideration any worsening of condition.

    You need to send anything you want them to know in advance.
    The tribunal can then review all the information and can focus the tribunal itself on areas they want to explore further by asking you questions.
