IB appeal

I had a letter from dwp on 13th december saying they would look at my case again before sending it to tribunal and if i had any supporting evidence to send it to them, made and appointment with my doctor to see him on 14th december and he agreed to send me a supporting letter which i recieved on 24th december because of christmas i was only able to send the letter off to dwp on 29th december i got home after sending my supporting letter and found a 89 page tribunal document waiting for me in this it says that the decision maker made their decision about my case on the 14th december so they gave me a whole day to see my doctor get a supporting letter and send it to them surely this can't be write and they should have given me longer any help would be much appreciated.

Hi

Still send it in as although you have received your tribunal papers the DWP can still overturn their decision. My own experience is proof of that, my GP sent a letter of support and a week before my tribunal was due to be heard the decision was overturned. I received 9 points at medical but following my GP letter was placed into the support group. Please dont delay get the letter in asap.

Hi,

It certainly seems the DWP have been quick off the mark (which is a change!) but perhaps in reality too quick.

It could be worth phoning them (followed up by letter) to advise them further information has been sent and request that that is both reviewed and also added to the tribunal 'bundle' if they cannot award IB even with the further information sent.

just looked through the tribunal papers and there are several things wrong with it, first there are several dates that are completely wrong my first IB50 form i sent in is missing and the med 4 form sent in with it is missing and at one part i am even regarded as someone else that isn't even close to my name, phoned the JCP they got someone to phone me back the women told me the reconsideration was done on the 23rd december when in 4 places in the tribunal papers its clearly stated and dated 14th december which i told her and she got quite snotty with me and wouldn't listen to what i was saying,i think i am going to completely go through the tribunal papers and write a long letter about everything i disagree with do you think this is a good idea?
