Hello
Thankyou very much for the replies, In response to not seeking advice.. i have had a face to face with my MP end of february and also with a chap from welfare rights, i have tried every avenue i know of, CAB were no help at all. my MP has written to Amber Rudd and HMCT with a complaint letter from my carer and myself as to the effect all this is having as i has an MS relapse due to the stress. None of this seems to have made any difference. i saw the last comment on here from 'Adrian' which says the judge can take as long as they like basically, thats exactly what i was told the last time i rang the courts (friday). They arent interested that its been 5 months now since the tribunal after waiting a year and a half for that tribunal, its soul destroying. The advice i got from welfare rights was to just apply again for pip. I am just clutching at straws by asking if anyone has any advice as im just lost and so tired of it all. many thanks -
I wouldn't advise you to re-apply because that's not the answer here. There's no further advice anyone on a forum can give you other than what mike has advised above.
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. -
I didnt see a point in reapplying either -to go through this again, Mikes advice is to get face to face? but ive already had that from my MP and welfare rights, is there any advice as to who else i could try? thankyou

I'm not sure what a local MP could do here. You need advice about writing the letter before action as advised by mike above.Here's the advice. DWP require a letter before action to ask them to put the tribunals decision into place. It’s the only decision which currently exists. Delaying for a few weeks is acceptable but as that slips into months I’d say much less so. You can do LBAs yourself but really it needs face to face advice and support as the matter may well require further legal action to kick DWP into action. DWP did nothing wrong requesting the SOR/ROP (you’d have probably done the same if you’d lost) but equally they have to recognise when the delay becomes unsupportable. Whichever way you dress it up phone advice or forum advice isn’t going to cut it. You need representation.

Im sorry i dont follow? my MP already did send a letter to DWP and to the court.
Im not sure what LBAs means? and who could help me? can i contact 'mike' directly for his advice? -
LBA means letter before action. No one on an internet forum can help you with this. Please get some face to face advice as advised. Welfare rights or a law centre will be able to assist you with this BUT you will need to speak to them in person and not through a phone call or anything else.I'm really not sure what further advice you want because there's only so much we can advise on the forum.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

Id like advice on who i should see regarding help? welfare rights advice is to re apply for pip. CAB were of no use, I dont know of anyone else thats why im asking if anyone on here does, i realise a forum cant sort my issue i was just hoping someone else had maybe been through this situation and could offer advice,

Why would you want to re-apply when you've already been awarded by a Tribunal? When you got advice from welfare rights did you speak to them face to face or through a phone call? Did you ask them for help writing the letter before action? If you didn't then you need to contact them again and ask for help writing the letter.This link will tell you what other advice centres are in your area. https://advicelocal.uk/

Thats exactly what i said, i saw a chap from WR in accrington.
He also said its a shame solicitors dont do free surgeries anymore as i could benefit from seeing one! Thanks for the link il have a look on there.

Hi @mic67
Please don't reapply, that is terrible advice and I'm sorry if Welfare Rights told you to do so.
The Citizens Advice Bureau have a few suggestions for free legal advice, some of which specialise in benefit claims. The LawWorks section at the bottom might be of particular relevance.

Thanks for replying, below is the email from welfare rights .I dont understand why id go through this again! I wouldnt!
Thankyou for your advice, much appreciated!
'Another thought given the delay & especially if the DWP are given permission to take the case to the Upper Tribunal is to claim again , especially as you mention a relapse. If you were considering this I would like to look through your appeal papers.
I appreciate that this involves more hassle and complicates things but it is worth considering.
Best wishes'
