Please help, I wrote to you 2 weeks ago to say that I had been placed in the support group after a tribunal for the year 2012.You all sent me messages of congratulation. I also told you that I had received a letter the week previous to say that the DWP had reconcidered my onging appeal for 2011 and that they had found in my favour. No more details as to group ect given.

I have now had a letter from the court to say a mistake has been made and that the DWP are still intending to go to court. I have also received a first tier tribunal social entitlement form signed by a judge.

As I have been placed in the support group for 2012 if I fight the 2011 case and they dont find in my favour what effect will this have on 2012 or any later ESA applications.

I so frightened, confused and worried.

Thanks AK

Hi AK, how very disappointing this must be for you :(

Please can I just check that I have the story straight - You are waiting for a tribunal relating to an ESA claim you made in 2011 but, meanwhile, have had an appeal heard - and decided in your favour - for 2012. Is that correct?

Is the 2011 decision going to the Upper tribunal, is that what you mean?

Any decision made for your 2011 claim will run up until the date of your 2012 decision. It will not impact on any future decisions.

I hope that answers your immediate questions. If you have any more, please come back and ask them on this thread.

Thankyou Mrs hurtyback. Its complicated.

Your understanding of the first paragraph is correct.

But my case is not to the upper tribunal the case ( wrag - support) has not been heard at the lower tribunal yet (2011) due to mistakes at DWP. the case was -mislaid, forgotten about whatever. Anyway they agreed as did the judge the case could be heard late as it wasnt my fault. then I got the letter to say it had been decided only it hadnt. Its very complicated sorry.

Case two overtook case one if that helps

Thanks annken,

This must be a real nightmare for you! I do hope that you don't have to wait too long for the 2011 tribunal.
