You can claim Hardship Payments with some benefits, but not PIP as far as I am award.
I'm afraid I can't offer any other insight in to what they might offer, the production of the SoR is not in their hands and there is nothing they can do to expedite the process.

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,

hi,am still waiting for the dwp to receive there statement of reasons and then to decide if they wish to appeal against my pip success, the tribunal have said it may take another 5 to 8 weeks for the judge to type them up,
does anyone have knowledge of the success rate the dwp has had when they appeal to the upper chamber, as i cant find any examples

I'm afraid there are no published statistics for this.
The number of members who report the DWP requesting a SoR is low and the number that then report the DWP appealing is even lower.

I received a copy of the statement of reasons two and a half months after the tribunal date. Apparently the judge had sent the wrong paperwork to the DWP originally stating my appeal was denied and then sent another saying it was upheld. The confusion caused them to question it and ask for the SoR. They paid me what I assume is the back payment two weeks later but I have had no letter of explanation or what I will now be receiving. I had no luck phoning them. I'll see what PIP I receive this week. I phoned the Court on a number of occasions which is how I found out about the original paperwork confusion. They sent two or three reminder letters to the judge as well.
Hope this helps anyone in a similar situation.
