PIP TRIBUNAL WON!

6 Posts

So I won my pip tribunal on the 7th of August. Spoke to DWP on the 11th they said they have received the tribunal award. Spoke to DWP again today (17th August) the lady on the phone said a note had been put on my account saying the claim had been approved and would be processed but she unfortunately couldn’t give me a time frame. Has this happened to anyone else? How long roughly should it be before I receive backpay, monthly payments and my award letter from DWP. Am currently waiting on 14 months of backpay!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you 😊

Can I ask how long from DWP sending their evidence in did you have to wait for the decision?
Tribunal was held on the 7th of August and I received the decision on the 11th August.
Since Covid19 current waiting times for hearing on average is 32 weeks from the time you request the Tribunal. Of course this is average but definitely a lot less than it was before Covid.
Thank You.
DWP sent evidence to ours on 15 Aug, but yet to receive it here. (no surprise there) so can not respond to what they said, but have plenty of evidence already sent in.
I will not give up. But may just lose the will lo live in the mean time 😂
That's another of those "how long is a piece of string questions" wait a week and if you haven't received payment in your bank then ring them. Although i do note that your Tribunal decision was only 7 working days ago, so it could be a few weeks yet.
