    your tribunal was ten days before mine so i am hoping in ten days time i will have it all sorted tooooooo. my secong money post tribunal will be going in tomorrow at lower rate so hoping by time my next one goes in in a fortnight tomorrow it will be higher rate n monies in ect... were your cold weather payments in with the monies? or is that seperate- did they send you a letter to tell you it was all sorted of ust rang? i bet you so relived x
  • they rang me yest afternoon.
    the cold weather payments are a seperate payment so should go in around about the same time as the backpay but could be a day or 2 later as its a diff department that deals with them.they said a letter is on its way but i think the letter is just a letter to say its sorted so she gave me all the figures on the phone.they sorted payments out on the same day as they issue the fortnightly payments so maybe if you contact them on the weds b4 the friday your payment goes in they may have some good news for u thats if they aint contacted you first xx

  • won my appeal on 17th September 2012 after being on esa for a year, was called down to my local jobcentrefor a interview.(after the judge said she didn't want them to reassess me for 18mths,went in December 2012 ) they told me I wasn't entitled to anything as my partner works over 24 hours. the judge awarded me 6 points, atos awarded me 0 points.so what was the point of me winning my appeal to then get no money.waste of time. they should get all the lazy watsits that don't work and don't intend working off benefits before they penalise people like me that have worked for 37yyears and now get nothing.sorry if I sound angry but that's because I am
