Hi Jay,

Gordon linked to the 'Error of Law' explanation in the 4th post of this topic!

At my tribunal last week I was awarded 16 points for daily living - up from 6 points - and enhanced mobility up from standard. I have also received a letter from DWP saying they've applied for a statement of reasons from HMCTS. I am due back pay for three months. In your experience do many of these find an error in law or is this just a delaying tactic by the DWP?

Thank you.

It's most certainly not a delaying tactic by the DWP although I can understand why it might seem that way.

Unfortunately we do not see enough UTT appeals to drawn any real conclusions on how often an Error is believed to have happened, even if the DWP thinks that there has been one there are potentially three levels of dispute as to whether this is the case or not.

The first will be when they and you have received a copy of the SoR, I am afraid this could take several months.

at the bottom of my letter stating that they are applying for statement of reasons, it also says if it is causing you hardship please get in touch straight away
well it is causing hardship as i need the award to go ahead as quickly as possable as its a criteriea of the local council so then i can be moved to sheltered accomadation,
so i phoned and explained and they said a case manager will ring back within 24 hrs, am really not up to taking this phone cal due to my health and also i dont know what to expect or even if it is going to make any difference, is there anybody who has any knowlege or success at this procedure,
