DLA awarded at Appeal court but DWP not paying up

DLA awarded at Appeal court but DWP not paying up was created by Connie
My daughter-in-law was finally awarded High Rate Care and Low Rate Mobility for her son at the
Appeal Court after a lengthy battle and using the B&W guides. First she was told that it was decided by the Decision Maker, that there was no case for them to appeal against the Lower Tribunal Decision as there was overwhelming evidence in favour of the claimant.and payment would be made in 7-10 days. This has NOT been forthcoming. Now she has been informed that it is being passed to a Case Manager, who is STIll a Decision Maker and this could take up to 6 weeks to pass who may decide to appeal to the Higher Tier ( despite the over whelming evidence and No Procedure of Law has been broken and THAT could take up to 18 weeks to go through. Her award was backdated as well so a large sum of money is involved here).
She may well have to take this further. This is a disgusting delay tactic by the DWP and is becoming the trend for many despite Victories by people. She is at her wits end on this, Can anyone advise on what to do next please? Without the award, she cannot access respite and other resources. Its a nightmare. Many Thanks.
