Upholding Tribunal Decision. was created by carol13jones
Hi everyone. Just wanted to know has there been any recent evidence of the DWP refusing to uphold the recommendation of a Tribunal? Also, if the Tribunal awarded a higher award to a date a year ago, do the DWP pay back-pay? Thanks.

The DWP cannot do this, however, they can as the claimant cab, appeal to the Upper Tribunal if they believe that there has been an Error in the making of the Decision, they cannot do this just because they disagree with the Decision.
Yes, the Tribunal re-makes the Decision appealed so there should be backdating of the award providing there are no other reasons preventing payment.
