  • Congratulations on winning.

    From reading some of the posts on here you could wait anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks for back payments, you could make a copy of your appeal notice to send in to your local benefit office, it may speed things up.

    I doubt you would be called for a wfi until they have acknowledged you have won the appeal and sorted out your benefits.

    Congratulations...

    Keep sending in sick notes in the interim until they update your award.
