esa appeal

Duplicate post removed.

Your friend should have had an acknowledgement of the appeal - but DWP do seem to be rather lax about this at the moment. If they have not had this then it would be worth phoning DWP to make sure that the apeal arrived.

The case will be reconsidered by a different Decision Maker and only go to appeal if the decision goes against the claimant. My own recon took almost 6 months and eventually was expedited after another phone call from me to check what was happening.

Your friend should be notified of the recon result, then the appeal bundle will be sent if and when the case is passed to the Tribunal service.

Thanks for that Mrs HB.

Should I have received this in writing from DWP?

Thanks,

The DWP have one month to submit your papers to the Tribunal Service from the date of the Reconsideration being completed, although it would normally take less than this.

Just bumping my thread again as still no appeal papers despite another 2wks passing. I make it well over 1mth now after the reconsideration.

would a quick call to DWP be adviseable just to check papers have been sent?

Hi G,

It certainly wouldn't do any harm to give them a ring for an update.

It may also be advisable to put something in writing to the same effect, and pop it in the post to create a paper trail.

thanks bro58.
I was advised by Gordon a few weeks ago about a 1mth time limit after the reconsideration.
A friend of mine has received their form from the tribunal service this week, a few days after receiving the appeal pack from DWP.
