Hi, I have recently won my PIP appeal at tribunal however someone who I know (who works for the DWP) has told me that they could contest the courts decision because my 14 year old daughter accompanied me during the hearing. At no point did the court official or any members of the panel say that my daughter was not allowed to attend because as she was a minor.
Please advise.

Yes the DWP will take the 28 days they are allowed to decide if they want to appeal against the Tribunal decision on a point of law.

I understand that however I just need to know if my daughter was allowed to accompany me in the court room as she is a minor.

Thank you for your reply. I'd just like to point out that the judge was a "she"!

Did your daughter act as a witness or just support? The Tribunal judge had the option to ask your daughter to leave the room if 'she' thought that some of the questions or your evidence would be too personal. She did not and providing there was nothing in the judges ruling that contravened any aspect of existing rules of evidence or breached any rulings laid down in the act or handed down by the Upper Tribunal, then you have nothing to worry about. If there are no matters of law relevant to the hearing that the DWP can appeal on then you should hear from them within 28 days. Do you have the Tribunals decision in writing yet? Just as a matter of interest some of the most insightful Tribunal judges are women, suggest you Google Upper Tribunal Judge Parker, her rulings on appeals have greatly advanced the cause of those seeking a Tribunal hearing in the hope the members of the Tribunal will overturn the DWP decision.

Hi there.
Is your daughter a young carer? If so, then surely she had every right to attend!
As Peasmold 01 said the judge would have said something if she felt your daughter shouldnts be there? So maybe wait and see what the letter says.
My friends sons are both young carers for their Mum, and go everywhere with her, even when they were at school, for important appointments etc. Nobody stopped them.
Good luck. X P xPoliteness costs nothing, but goes a long way in life.
Always look out for each other. Be kind.
Hugs and smiles mean the world. XX -
i know a friend of mine just won her pip appeal 2.5weeks ago after a year of waiting for court date, but they haven't paid the full year of back pay,,

Are you saying she has received a payment from the DWP in respect of the the Tribunal 's decision? If so that is very fast. In respect of how much the DWP have to pay her look at the written decision from the Tribunal, it will state from what date the DWP have to pay any arrears.

Thank you for the advice everyone. I have only had the decision verbally. The court date was 15th of August. My daughter is a young carer and I always need someone with me. My best friend was on holiday.
