PIP appeal back payments?

@Diane5767

It's 28 days from receipt of SOR.  But it might be a few weeks after that before you get the arrears.

Hello Diane5767

Matilda is correct that generally the DWP will first have to ask the Tribunal for permission to appeal within 28 days of the date of the Statement of Reasons.  It can take 1-2 weeks for such a request to be registered on the Tribunal System, so I would contact the Tribunal Service within 5-6 weeks of the date of the statement of reasons to ask if they have received any letters from the DWP challenging the PIP decision.  Hopefully the DWP do not challenge the Tribunal decision and payments can then be made.  Generally it will take a further 3-4 weeks for the arrears of PIP to be made and regular payments to be put in place.   Please post again if it takes longer than this.

Hello Rosie55

The length of time to receive a statement of reasons varies considerably based on the Judge drafting the statement. Generally it can take around 6 weeks for a statement to be received.  If you have not heard anything in this time, I would be tempted to telephone the Tribunal Service just to see if there is  a reason for the hold up, or it is something as simple as a short delay caused by waiting for the reasons to be typed up.
