Great news! You will receive backdated money from the date the original decision was made and the award will be put into payment BUT this can sometimes take as long as 8 weeks.Toomuchdebt wrote: »I just got a letter from the tribunal and they say they are allowing the appeal...I won?

With Christmas just around the corner and backlogs getting bigger, you may not receive anything before Christmas. Hopefully, it will be sooner of course.0 -
Thank you! Hopefully it won't take as long but after Christmas is good too
