Hi I was turned down at my reconsideration stage went for the tribunal stage for pip but before it got to tribunal stage they overturned it again in my favour was just wondering how that works so glad it did

    It means that you no longer have to attend a tribunal and you will receive any arrears due from the date of application and further payments too. Wait for a letter in the post to explain more but be aware that it can take a little bit of time to set everything up. You’ll also get the £150 disability cost of living bonus now too (presuming you applied before the 25th May), you will need to wait for that though.

    It’s rare but it does happen. You can of course request a new Tribunal if you’re still not happy with the decision. Your current award will continue while you wait for the hearing. You do not need to request the MR again before Tribunal.
