A long submission is not a problem, but you can help yourself by clearly numbering each page and providing an index so it is easy to find information.

As to what to provide information for, it depends on what you are aiming for, if the WRAG then you need to score as many points as possible, if the Support Group then you need to show that you meet one or more the associated Descriptors.

Hi

Thank you to all at B&W for the information that I have received. I could not have got this far without you.

I attended my tribunal on Tuesday afternoon. I have never been so scared in my life but the panel were really nice. Unfortunately,because they were running late they were unable to give me a decision on the day.

I have spent the past day and half worrying. I have just opened the letter informing me that my appeal has been upheld and I have been placed in the support group with 24 points.

I cannot begin to tell you how relieved I am.

The appeal panel have made no recommendation as to when I should be assessed next, so would I be right in assuming that I could be called for a reassessment pretty quickly?

Congratulations on win, well done.

It usually takes the DWP 5-8 weeks to process a Tribunal Decision, I would give them a call next week to confirm that they have received the Decision Notice.

DWP guidelines restrict them from reassessing a claimant who has won a Tribunal for at least eight months, but it could well be longer depending on what you scored the points for.

Hi Gordon
Thank you for answering my query. I can breathe easy, for a few months at least.

I was awarded 15 points for mobilising and 9 points for standing.
