    Hi,

    Providing they request it within 1 month of the date of the decision there's no timescales to how long it takes to receive it. If you haven't heard anything give DWP a ring for an update because they are the only ones that can tell you what's happening for sure.

    I would say DWP because they're the ones requesting the SOR.

    Hello AGAIN!! sorry to be a pest, i got a letter today saying...*A district judge has said that the tribunal has no power to enforce its decisions--and i should contact dwp to put the decision into effect*  Im so confused, can anyone tell me what this means please? many thanks as always

    It simply means that HMCTS can't force DWP to pay you what they owe you. I really think you're looking into this too much. As advised it can take 8 weeks for DWP to pay any backdated money owed. As they've asked for the SOR all you can do is wait.

    Did you contact DWP as advised?

    thanks for replying...I dont understand why they have sent a letter saying only that? theres no mention of SOR in the letter  and the last bit where it says i have to contact dwp to put the decision into effect? what does that mean?  

    i havent rung dwp since i got the letter today

    You really need to get some expert face to face advice regarding this. Please contact an advice centre near you. CAB, welfare rights or a law centre.

    Sounds like they are appealing the decision, have you rang DWP to ask?

    phoned several times, the dwp were too late requesting the SOR -but then they appealed and the judge allowed it! 
    all i get told is that the DWP STILL have not received the SOR, its 5 months since the tribunal now
    its a joke how they treat people

    I can only really echo the advice given above.

    It's rare but unfortunately the judge can take as long as they want to write the SOR. Have you tried contacting the court clerk to chase it up? The DWP aren't going to push them for it and as they've requested it, they aren't required to do anything with your claim until it's received, so it's worth you doing.
