If the DWP think there may have been an error in law they can request a statement of reasons and can request a further appeal. If your appeal had failed you could have done the same thing.

It not make any difference if they have seen you or not as they will decide whether to appeal based on the Statement Of Reasons.

When a tribunal makes a decision, both parties have the right to appeal to a higher court if they believe the tribunal made a mistake by not applying the law correctly.

That is how the legal system works.

The DWP are obliged to consider the tribunal's decision to see if they are happy that there have been no errors of law. 9 times out of 10, they accept the tribunal's decision and make the payment. But they have a duty to the taxpayers to ensure that they have done their job properly first.

I know it is stressful, and you have done well to get this far. You just need to be patient for a little while longer. You should hear from them fairly soon.

LazyDaisy has pretty well covered it and given a good answer but just to confirm that in the majority of cases the tribunal do get it right but on the odd occasion there are errors.
