    It should be referred back 'with direction'. Basically the UTT have directed the original Tribunal to implement their (UTT) ruling  You have possibly created a precedent. Good luck

    Oh ok do I have to go in person or will they make the decision do you know how long it takes and his dirrecdir was that both the claimant me and the appellant the secretary of state both agree that there was an errors in law and the judge should be given the secretary of state submission

    The answer to that question is, if the UTT gave a direction to the lower Tribunal, then possibly, and I say, possibly, it will be a paper judgement. i.e. the lower Tribunal judge will implement the ruling of the UTT. You will be notified if you are required to return to the LTH (Lower Tribunal Hearing)

    The upper tribunal only decide whether you were treated unfairly. If so you get another chance to go to the tribunal again, usually with a direction that the original tribunal members are excluded. At least that is what happened to me.

    You need to wait for a new tribunal date and, unfortunately, go through it again.

    I'd advise you to send it to HMCTS ASAP but make sure all of your details are on it so they know it's yours.
    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.

    Hi I'm new on here but been reading many posts which have kept me rested, I have also been allowed for my pip to be returned back to a new ftt for preferably an oral hearing, my assessment was July 2017 and I've never given up although at times I wanted to, I'm glad I didn't, so like you I'm now awaiting for a date - at the date of my assessment I had diagnosis of osteoarthritis but since then also diagnosed with fibromyalgia - I sent this to the upper tribunal, although I know it's only what affects you at the time of assessment that is discussed should I ensure that I also mention the fm? Good luck with your next hearing - it will give inspiration to others to not give up

    Thank you everybody and iwas actually appealing for the daily living care discriptor 9 as I only scored 6points for care but 8points for mobility so I have been receiving the standered rate mobility and was awarded the standered rate for care but also awarded enhanced mobility in which I wasn't expecting at all it was a long time waiting all but it's definitely worth going for appeal

    Your questions were already answered regarding this. You need to request the statement of reasons and record of proceedings from HMCTS. Without this and finding an error in law you can't proceed any further with this claim. It doesn't matter how many times you ask the question the answer will remain the same.
    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.

    It took about 6 weeks from the letter from the utt till the appeal it was a long and hard process  mine was also last July 2017 but you have to try to put it to the back of your mind cause it is upsetting and stressfully daunting but this is the last hurdle when you get here

    Thanks. I really hope mine is soon. It feels a long time ago since that first assessment and I'm glad I didn't give up, Ive asked my gp for a letter too and my consultant. Did you post or take it along with you? Did you have a representative attend with you?
