Hi all
I had my tribunal witch was very quick I must say,waited no longer then a month for my paper hearing I won and got standard daily living and enhanced mobility so was pretty happy how ever it's been to weeks so I called dwp and was told by 1st lady that I was high priority?? Any one no how much longer and why I should be high priority
Any ways I called back and was told by a man that it can take 4 weeks! As they have the right to appeal he never mentioned me being high priority and I never new they could appeal this
Anyone that can help on this I would much appreciate it

Hi,Great news,DWP have the same rights as we do to appeal the decision. To do this must ask for the statement of reasons and they have 1 month from the date of the decision to request this. Then they must find an error in law., If they don't find that they can't appeal the decision.It can take 8 weeks to pay 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.

Thanks poppy
I never they can do that just when you think the stress is all over they come up with something elseI really hope that they don't appeal this fingersf crossed -
If they do request the statement of reasons they'll write to you. Requesting this doesn't mean they're appealing, it just means they're requesting it.

To me it feels like legalised mental cruelty , making vulnerable people wait so long for appeals and payments , is there any human rights laws they are violating ?

Hi colino
That's exactly how I feel
Unfortunately I don't think that there is one from what I've read up today it's there option if fthe want to or not.its very stressful and unfair -

If it is that easy for the claimant to find errors, I wonder why it isn't that easy for the DWP to find at least one? Surely it doesn't take 4 weeks to find it?
Given Mike's expert opinion I am therefore surprised that so few cases go to the Upper Tribunal by the DWP.
Maybe the DWP aren't professional enough to handle this work.

@Lee123 Great news! I won my PIP tribunal December 12th and got the backdated payments on week 5 so hang in there!

I too won my appeal and i got my back pay 5 weeks later.
DWP did not ask for statement of reasons but did wait 28 days. It does take around 5/6 weeks for payment to be put in place.
Goodluck -
Thank you all
Just an update I called DWP and they said my cliam is being processed does this mean they are not asking for statnesta of reason?
