    It sounds like you have appealed the decision and a decision maker is reviewing the initial decision. Once they have done this they will write to you and either change the award, or forward your case to be heard at tribunal. This can all take some time, they will be in touch in due course.
  • Thank you, I was told that her claim had been passed on to the case manger concerned as a priority, I do understand that there are many people in the same situation it's just a really worrying time
