PIP processed after appeal

Hi

Has anyone had any problems getting PIP to start once they have had their appeal allowed?

The DWP told me they haven't received the Decision Notice, and kept telling me to phone the Courts, the Courts have told me that the DWP shouldn't have been telling me to do that, they should have applied for a copy of the decision notice! I have been pushed from pillar to post and 3 weeks after the appeal I still haven't got anywhere. The DWP have also told me that they have 28 days from when they actually get to see the Decision Notice to appeal the decision if they don't agree with it; so I could still end up with nothing!

Have you received the Decision Notice?
If so can you forward a copy onto the DWP.
If not you should chase up your own copy.
Notices should be issued automatically to both sides as soon as practicable after the hearing.
If you don't have a copy then maybe you could chase the court for your own copy.
The DWP know what the proceedure is.

Yes I was given the Decision Notice on the day of my appeal and the Appeal Court have told me a copy was electronically sent to the DWP that day too but the DWP are still saying they never received it. I have now sent a copy of my Decision Notice, sent it recorded delivery so they can't say it never arrived.

The Appeal Court told me too that the DWP know what the procedure is but that doesn't seemed to have made much difference; they are still delaying the process.

I am just hoping they don't start to appeal the decision once they have finally received it.

Seems to me they would have appealed already so are just being the DWP. Don't want anyone getting happy from winning what they're entitled to.

Lets hope it all gets sorted soon and backdated.
