DWP ask for statement of reasons but they can only appeal if they find a error of law. I hope that helps.
Goodluck -
They cannot say yet that they are appealing it's to early they are only asking for a statement of reasons but unless they can find a error of law they cannot appeal
Just hang in there and think the longer they drag it out the more back pay you will get -
thanks people for help..but what is a error in law, surely a judge cant make a errori just hope they dont appeal then..will keeep u updatedthanks

It can and does happen. DWP have as much right to appeal the decision as we do. It can take 8 weeks to pay you any backdated money.
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 Shazzer5, I would try not to worry.
I was in this position recently and nearly lost my mind with the stress and second guessing everything. I spent weeks calling the tribunal service trying to hurry the judge up with providing the statement of reasons, which took a few months in the end. Once the DWP had the statement of reasons they made the payment really quickly. I think they ask for this to see the reasons people have been given an award and make sure it’s correct, which is nearly always going to be the case following a tribunal.
Hang in there, you will get it sorted, it’s just going to take a bit longer than originally thought -
Hi barney.

hope we don't have to wait months for judge .i too will keep ringing them .
hopefully all turn out good in end.

Hi Shazzer
I agree with most of the fellow readers that even though they might try to appeal the tribunal if medical professionals have backed up your evidence of
illnesses and disabilities ,the judge that decided you won the tribunal will not change his decision . Hang on in there . I believe with fellow readers that you will win. Lets hope so -
Update...
dwp have sent sor to tribunal which they received on 14 Jan..
how long we Gotta wait now till judge sends back to dwp ..do judge have time limit to send bk sor to dwp..
any help on this
thanks -
Do you mean the DWP have requested the SOR? DWP can't send the SOR to the Tribunal because it comes from them. If this is what you mean then DWP have 1 month to request it, there's no time scales for HMCTS to respond and send it.I really wouldn't worry at this stage as advised, they've just requested the SOR. Payments can take 8 weeks after a Tribunal win.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 poppy yes that what i meant.
Just so annoying we gotta wait till dwp recieve sor .then wait for them to decide if they taking further after reading sor.
Thanks -
Hi shazzer. I am pleased that you have won your appeal after all that waiting. I'm sure that it will sort itself out and you will get your award.I am going to my tribunal tomorrow afternoon and to say that I'm nervous is an understatement. How did yours go and if you don't mind me asking,what sort of questions did they ask you?Thanks for any info. xx

tribunal refused my PIP .said although i have conditions listed -they do not affect my limitations.Scored zero points.which i am certain they took from assessor report-niot what they were told on the day.
i use aids to dress ,take meds,eat=open cans jars etc,to get around thev house-grab rails,cant get out of the bath,have carer who washes and dries my hair,prepares meals,makes cup of tea.cant use my oven safely-confusion over rin gs-several fires and one major housefire as a result of leaving pans unattended-thru distraction-not turning ring off and leaving oven on when out,cannit walk without pain stiffness fatigue breathlessness and abdominal pain back pain -need to keep stopping to rest.cant do housework-use long handled brushes etc,long handled poop scoop.aid to clean myself as cant reach,cant cut toe nails,have RA in hands -cant hold anything for long -ie pen or walking stick.
on self test and by AGEUK and CAB ,I was scored 24 points for care and 22 for mobility,i have been on IB/ESA and DLA since 1998 -ill since 1994.dont suddenly get better justv because they decide i am not entitled to PIP based on lies told by assessor.have got worse since 2009.
said only step is upper tribunal if there is an "error in law" -what is "an error in law"? -

my dla was stoipped in oct 2017,tribunal stated they were only interested up to that date-but interrogated like a criminal-asked re after this time-dids not refer to the lies and **** in the assessor report-nor accept anything i told them -asked ridsiculous questions like "why is the photo on your travel permit an old one"?I said it was not-it is how my face has changed due to my conditiions. -
@rainbow58 you need to request the statement of reasons and record of proceedings from HMCTS and take both of these to an advice centre near you. If no error in law is found then you won't be able to appeal the decision.
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. -
What is an Error of Law?
When appealing a Tribunal Decision to the Upper Tribunal, you need to show that there has been an Error of Law.
Commissioners Decision R(A)1/72 states that there is an error of law if:
- The decision contains a false statement about the law e.g. they got the law wrong or misinterpreted it.
- The decision made is supported by no evidence
- The facts found are such that no person acting judicially and properly instructed as to the relevant law could have come to the determination in question (a perverse decision).
- There has been a breach of natural justice, i.e. the procedure followed leads to unfairness.
- The tribunal did not give proper findings of fact or provide adequate reasons for its decision. There must be sufficient reasons so that you can see why it reached the decision it did.
“The minimum requirement must at least be that the claimant, looking at the decision, should be able to discern on the face of it why the evidence has failed to satisfy the authority”
See also R(I)14/75 which states that a decision would be wrong in law if it was in breach of the requirements of natural justice or failed to state adequate reasons.
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -

You have 1 month to request the SOR, it's not 1 month to appeal. From the time you receive the SOR it's 1 month.
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.
