WON PIP APPEAL BUT NOW THE DREADED STATEMENT OF REASONS

OK, panic not, and I know that is easier to say than actually do. However  DWP have 28 days to APPEAL THE RULING by the Tribunal. They can only appeal on a matter of law, not the opinion of the Tribunal members who awarded you PIP. Don't get confused, a matter of law, is if the DWP LEGAL GNOMES believe the JUDGE has made an error in interpretating the monumental clauses and sub clauses in the act, they MAY appeal. Rare, but when you are in a nice warm office on £35k plus who gives a ****. With regards to the Bailiffs, you don't let them into your house, at all. The right of bailiff entry has never actually existed  it requires a Court Order, and, the boys in blue must be in attendance, or notified of a forced entry. Panic not, they want your money, not your goods and chattels. Explain the situation, most bailiff companies will accept offers  talk ,don't argue with them, just ask for the warrant of entry. Don't have one, then two options, foff or you call the police. Good luck  

They may not have a warrant of entry but they are allowed to enter without permission as long as it is by peaceful means.
Bailiff knocks on door and explains who they are and why they are there. You go into the house to find some letters you have about this leaving the bailiff on the front step with the front door closed but not securely locked. Bailiff tries the door handle and the door opens - he goes in. Now that he is in the house you cannot force him out. He is entitled to go in every room to see what assets you have and even open drawers to see if he can find a bank savings book etc.

At this stage you have two options pay up in full or make an acceptable offer where he/she is also likely to list all of your goodies and tell you that you can keep them for now but if the balance isn't paid when it is supposed to be paid they can come back and force entry to remove those goods.

Word to the wise always keep your windows closed (they have the right to bring ladders to access all windows if they are open).
Always keep all exterior doors closed and locked.

If answering the front door never leave it unlocked with the bailiff stood outside. One foot over the threshold of the door is inside as far as they are concerned so watch where he/she puts their foot.

We have a member here who had a question about PIP and is at their wits end worrying about bailiffs and we have members arguing about what bailiffs can do and not do.
Compassion please

There is no argument unless you are yourself are intent on instigating one. but I have merely given advice as to what a bailiff can and cannot do.
You can obviously ignore what I have said that is everybody's choice. 

The poster is worried about bailiffs at the door, and the information I have given him will help protect himself.
