I had my appeal on may 29th and was told on Monday my payment would be in by Wednesday or Friday latest but I spoke to a man today and he said September? Can anyone shed some light in this?

Hi @skyethomson96, it may be worth you giving them a call for clarification. It's my understanding it can take 6-8 weeks for them to put a tribunal decision in to payment but I'm not sure why you've been told September.Community Manager

I had my tribunal on 13th of sept was told I had been awarded the standard rate of the care component backdated to November 2018. Also told they were faxing the decision so the DWP got it immediately. Just got off phone to DWP 4 days later. I was told it had only come onto their system at 5am today that there was a tribunal date for me on the 13th. I got my notification 4 weeks before my appearance date! Got told it might take another 6 weeks once they log the decision on to their system.

Sometimes it's less than this but there's really no timescales. Hopefully not too long.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.

Hope someone can help me please xxHi,Great news. It can take 8 weeks to receive backdated money, which will be backdated to the start of your claim. IF it's Enhanced mobility and you're asking about the motability vehicle then you'll have to wait until you get the letter from DWP before you can order a car.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

This is my first post,so hi everyone.
I had my pip tribunal 5th June 2017.
A 1 hour 15 minutes of grilling about my condition.
I have since 2011 sciatica,endiometris causing acute pain.I have a cocktail of medication including Matrifen patches.In November 2016 pip reduced my claim from enhanced rate to standard after an ATOS interview.I asked for reconsideration and lost.
I new this was wrong but as I suffer from anxiety and depression I was worried about doing the next step a tribunal.
To cut it short I new that's what pip want people to get to this stage and give up.
I was so scared but persevered and WON my case.My money is to be back dated 6 months, does anyone know how long it takes to get money I am owed?.If you have the same problem in pip reducing your claim please .FIGHT IT.!!!
Hi, Me myself won my appeal two weeks ago and I’ve not even heard anything from DWP how long was it when you received your benefits if you don’t mind me asking I’ve got backdated 14 to 15 months

They can't just appeal the decision. First they have to request the statement of reasons and record of proceedings and they have 1 month from the date of the decision to do this. Once they receive those they have to find the error in law before they can appeal. If they do request these it doesn't mean they will appeal. They sometimes request them but rarely appeal. If they request them they will write to you. It will delay you receiving the backdated money if they are requested.
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's possible they have requested the statement of reasons and record of proceedings. If they have then this will delay you receiving your backdated money and all you can do is wait.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.
