Hi Just a quick question if thats ok.
As I said above I got a text from DWP on 31/10/17
They have 28 days to send there response.
They will send me copies. I have had nothing from them so far.

I did want to get there paper work before I submit mine.
Do I have the same time frame as them? Do I have 28 days from when they sent the text 31/10/17?

The 28 days applies from the date on the letter accompanying the DWP submission, but in reality you have until a couple of weeks before your hearing to prepare and submit your information.

Hi Patrick,

Just read your posts as I am also a person who is grappling with UC but also get ESA. As your post was a month ago perhaps you are going to the tribunal soon. Dont be put off by the fact that you lost the Man rec, only 2% of MC are overturned but 60% are when you go to Court. It does not help that the DWP seem to be speaking in a very strange language, using terms like gait ( eg swaying when you walk ) or aided ( eg using a stick ) but when you go to Court it is quite informal and they will talk in English and interperate your story into DWP speak. Good luck mate.

Hi Beragon
I feel once I get to the tribunal date is set I will feel better.
It seems to go on forever and its not been easy as I was unsure what to do and when.
I can see light at the end of the tunnel so fingers crossed.
I am now waiting for DWP to send the paper work setting out there case.
Then I will send my paper work in, then its waiting for a date.
I hope all goes well for you good luck

Patrick
