    Once the money has been sent then it's 3-5 working days depending on who you bank with.

    One question that has been overlooked here. I looked back at your previous posts and see you had requested the Tribunal. So this is an offer of an award from DWP before the hearing takes place, which is rare but can happen.

    Are you happy with what you were offered? If you still think you could score more points for a higher award then you can take the offer and request the Tribunal again. Your time will start from the begining again though.

    If you can get some advice from an agecy near you then i'd definitely advise you to do that.

    Hi poppy i was just going to do another post explaining that i had just sent my online appeal about two weeks ago. I'm happy with the decision thanks so much

    Are you also OK with the length of the award, which you could also ask to be looked at again? When it happens, the DWP usually offer something less than they feel you might get if a tribunal had gone ahead.

    When mine was awarded after a MR 2 years ago backdated money went into my account exactly a week after they made the decision and then my payments were 4 weekly from the day of my back pay.

    Most people, including myself, get the standard rate for pips.I also got a two year award for pips, they phoned me before I went to a tribunal hearing.
