As you won your appeal on 2 May 2012, the 8 working days that have elapsed since the date of the decision will not be long enough for the decision to circulate through the DLA Unit's internal mail system. Furthermore, the backlog of work may very well impact upon the DLA unit acting upon the decision, which will in all probabilities be scrutinised by a team of decision makers who will decide if there are grounds for an appeal to the Upper Tribunal on a point of law? This very rarely happens, but it is an integral part of the decision making process before payment can be released.

As to the contents of letters and the conversation you had with the DLA Unit about the progress of your claim, as B & W was not privy to the discussion, it is impossible to comment in these circumstances.

Back payments following a successful appeal usually take at least six weeks to be processed by the DWP.

I think that the letter sent following a DLA appeal, asks for your bank details, but also asks you to confirm any periods you might have had as an in-patient in hospital, so it has to be returned before payment will be released, assuming of course, that you recieve it in the first place.
