Congratulations on the win, it usually takes the DWP 5-8 weeks to process a Tribunal result, I would give them a call to make sure that they have received the Decision Notice.
You will receive back payment of any missed payments from the date of the Decision that was appealed, so if you had an award and this was reduced or removed then this should result in all missed money being paid.
