    It usually takes DWP 5-8 weeks to put a tribunal decision into payment.
    It is also becoming common for them to request a statement of reason from the judge. They can only appeal if an error of law can be found, which is unusuall

    I didnt no that they ask for a reason from the judge if you win appeal omg they will try anything they have actually lied on my daughters pip assesment it makes me so mad i came out of work to look after my daughter myself who suffers with 3 different types of epilepsy so it would be better all round and cheaper as private care expensive but they gave her 0 points appeal soon but dont no what to expect as never been through this before

    Pip appeal  nicola8803 don't  know  about  the  carears side but i bet someone  will help  try the experts  on scope ,I'm  sure  someone  will  help  as for the tribunal i was scared  as i had  not been  in  a court before but  if you  have the  same experience  as me it should  be fine  good  luck  on the  day. PS same with  they  several  times but  explain  there  lies when  and  wherever you can

    Pip appeals the first time  i posted was for 2 reasons i live on my on  and came home    and to get all of  the  tension  plus the  pleasure  of the result. Out of  system  but 2nd reason to give  hope to any  one who  might be just  going to face  a  panel hope it helped  thanks TRACY1965 to hear  from  you
