Process after ESA appeal win

Hi all,

I was wondering what happens after winning ESA appeal and being placed in the support group.

Do I still need to send in fit notes whilst awaiting confirmation iof appeal result from DWP?

Will the payment rate stay at assessment amount until the DWP contact me?

I gave read that it can take the DWP up to 8 weeks after the tribunal date to update records, is this true?

Regards

Ted

Hi

Congratulations on winning your entitlement.
It can take a little while for the DWP to process your case. Some say its petty bad loser syndrome but it could be plain incompetence

You don't need to get fit notes any more. You should be paid as normal until you get the award notice and back pay.

According to DWP it can take 5-8 weeks.
But was much less for me, I'll break it down for you.

16 Dec - Tribunal Win
18 Dec - Txt telling me to close JSA claim so ESA can be paid
I closed JSA, from 15th Dec. Rang ESA to inform them.
21 Dec - Paid ESA back pay from 15th Dec to 21st Dec.
23 Dec - Paid JSA 7th Dec to 15th Dec.
29 Dec - Paid ESA back pay 4 Aug to 15 Dec.
4 Jan - ESA SG payment Starts plus every 2 weeks.

Thank you for the information, much appreciated.
