    Great news, well done. You just have to wait now to hear from DWP. It can take 6-8 weeks for them to pay you your backdated money. They do have 28 days to ask for the statement of reasons, if they wish to appeal the decision. To be able to do this they must find an error in law. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Congratulations, great news and delighted to read the judge was able to reach conclusion without putting you through any more unnecessary trauma.

    So pleased for you. It's great to hear good news. You don't need to contact anyone just wait for the DWP to contact you.
