Tribunal Triage Decision

Hello all,
I'm hoping there's someone out there who either is going through the same process currently or someone who may have the answer., I can't find it anywhere.
Basically on 24/04 I received a letter from the tribunal service that says a stand-alone judge has looked at my case at triage stage and has decided to award me standard rate of daily living component. I and the DWP had 28 days to respond if we agreed or didn't. I responded accepting DWP didnt, so by default the DWP has conceeded via non-challenge. 28 days has now gone by. The provisional decision will now be made into a final decision.
But can anyone tell me when this will be? The courts don't know, I don't know and neither does my representative. It states on the letter after 28 days it will be made into a final decision. Its very vague on the definition of 'after 28 days'.
Anyone had same experience? No information at all out there on Google etc

Hi @darrylg94
A very warm welcome.
It seems to me your glass is half full, in that you have been awarded PIP, without the need to attend, a Tribunal.
No one has detailed insight, on how the tribunal service is coping in these virus times.
Though @mikehugghescq has given his, inevitable best insights.

Username_removed said:The 28 days to object runs from the 24th of April so roughly the 22nd of May. It’s rightly vague on how soon after as it’s plainly ridiculous to pin that down to a time-scale even if we weren’t in the middle of a pandemic lock down.At present you might have a HMCTS office with 10 people in it instead of the usual 200. Clerks are generally going in only to run telephone hearings and whatever admin work can be done is being done around that. The process is as follows as best I recall.
Somewhere there’s a note on a system to say when the 28 days is up. Ordinarily that flags up and a clerk would then bring that to the attention if a salaried judge who would then finalise the decision whereupon a clerk distributes that to all parties and the DWP payment process can grind into action.Imagine what that looks like at present.- Few clerks in the office.
- Massive backlogs on every front.
- Documents having to be transmitted to judges who are likeky working remotely and who you can’t assume have broadband or IT skills (the reason clerks still exist in the first place). You don’t even know if they’ve got a printer or access to envelopes and stamps.
- Maybe having to transmit stuff back to HMCTS for a clerk to print and post. Back to massive backlogs.
- Into the post and... backlogs.
Your question is the social security equivalent of “how long is a piece of string” and it’s absolutely right that there is no answer to how long it will take.
I'm still open to other members replies if they have experience of my situation. -

I'm surprised DWP haven't helped the FtT by lapsing the appeal. Would help the backlog fractionally. But I'm sure majority know how the DWP work.
Stay safe guys -
