Pip tribunal

saram

Good afternoon everyone I just left my tribunal hearing I've been told they'll send me a letter with decision which I assume means no i was just hoping to ask has anyone had that and should I still have hope

Lots of people don't have the decision on the day of the hearing but this doesn't mean you'll be refused, it just means they couldn't make the decision during the hearing.  Lots are successfully awarded when the decision isn't made on the day. You will be sent the decision letter within the next few days.

Thanks Poppy your responses are always very helpful

You're welcome. Do let us know the outcome, if possible.

I am very happy to inform that I have looked at the website and found that I have been awarded both the daily living and mobility component of pip from the date I applied October last year untill 2025 I pretty sure I just woke up my neighbour kids with my scream thank you for all your help through this long year

That sounds like really positive news @saram! Well done I hope that you manage to take some time to relax today, and that you managed to get some sleep last night.

It'd be great to see you stick around on the community to share your experience with others, and take part in some general chat

Hi I had my tribunal on Tuesday and won. I am trying to figure out when they will pay the back money. Your award and time scales seem similar to mine. Have you heard anything yet about the back payment?

After a Tribunal win it can take anything up to 8 weeks, sometimes longer to pay what they owe you and to put your award into payment. It could be after Christmas that you receive what's owed now.

No i haven't heard anything yet apart from getting the official letter from the tribunal by post as poppy said it can take weeks so I'm not counting on it before Christmas which is a big shame

Im not fused about the payment before Christmas, I wasn't expecting it so thats sorted. Its when the Tribunal judge said DWP has a right to appeal it made me worry thats all. I know once they make the payment they've accepted the descision. The Judge did however say she hopes they do not appeal because she is 100% sure the panel did not make a mistake. However it is obviously still a possibility 

saram

I wait for the call or post everyday if they let me know I will update you

It's rare for DWP to appeal the decision. Before they can do this they must request the statement of reasons (SOR) within 1 month of the date of the decision. Once this is sent they have 1 month to find the error in law. They sometimes request the SOR but rarely appeal it. If they request it, it doesn't mean they are appealing it.

Yes I've been looking up to 8 weeks is standard I'm just wondering what actual time scales seem to be at the moment. I read one last week who had a pip payment due 3 weeks after tribunal, she gout back payment 19 days after and the higher pip payment on her next payment. That payment was in October this year.

All that information will be in the decision letter when you receive it from DWP.
