Hello jackboy
Thank you for getting int ouch with the Community.
It can be really stressful waiting to see whether the DWP ask for a statement of reasons - even if they do, and this is rare, then it isn't necessarily the case that they will ask for permission to take your case to the upper tribunal.
If the appeal tribunal didn't ask you any questions, that might just be because they could see that your claim should have been allowed, based on the paperwork.
I would try really hard not to worry for now. It sounds like a good result - you won your appeal, well done.
You will feel better though when you get your arrears, if there are some, or just when some time elapses and you don't have to go to the jobcentre.
Best wishes
