Pre Appeal decision was created by bubbles
Hello, I wonder if anyone has any experience of the DWP making a decision in the claimants favor before appeal. I have asked through the journal how long underpayments will take to be made and I have been told that they can not give timescales and they will contact me once all the work on my claim has been done, that was 3 weeks ago. Surely rectifying a mistake on payments and then making a payment for the underpayment can not take too long, but they will not even give me an approximate time. Has anyone had experience of this and how long did it take for the DWP to pay the money owed. It has been going on for seven months now is getting to be a nightmare. Any insight or help would be gratefully received.
Thank you
Thank you

Hi bubbles,
Post approved and yes I have had this personally happen to me - My PIP was stopped after a review - I went MR, then to first tier tribunal, but before tribunal I was sent a text message advising that the DWP had changed their minds, and awarded me PIP for a further 4 years.

bubbles, me too. I got a call from DWP just before the tribunal offering to reinstate my award, also I got a few more extra years out of them. I didn’t wait long for my money, a month at the most.
