Appeal Adjourned - Please advise was created by katie
Hi All,
I had my PIP appeal on 20th Aug and this was adjourned as I used to get full rate DLA so the court asked for the following:
1) To write to my GP for my most recent medical notes
2) The DWP had 21 days to provide all of the paperwork relating to my old DLA claim
So on Sat 29th Sept I got a letter from the courts with a copy of what my GP had sent in.
I have seen nothing with the evidence from DWP so I called the courts this morning to ask if they had and would I get a copy.
They said I would of done but they have not said anything so I asked what happens now and
they said that as they have gone outside the 21 days to send all of their evidence it may now just go to a judge to decide.
Can anyone shed any light on this or give me some further info?
Thanks

Tribunals are starting to push back on the number of claimants who receive an effective reduction in the award from DLA to PIP when there is no apparent change in condition, so they are asking to see the documentation used to make the DLA award.
The Judge will now likely issue a warning to the DWP, it would be very unusual for them not to respond to this.

Hi Gordon,
Thank you so much for this. Does the DWP get a certain amount of time to reply to that warning?

Yes, the Judge will set a date or time period, you'll receive a copy of their letter to the DWP. It may be another 21 days or they may reduce it, it's unlikely to be less than 14 days as I would not expect the DWP to be able to physically respond in that timescale

Yes, once the Judge is happy that they have all of the information needed then you appeal will be listed for a hearing.
