Tribunal decision was created by Jane Flack
Hi,
My daughter was moved from the support to wrag group of esa in oct17. As her appointee I appealed the decision and last week the tribunal upheld my appeal.
The letter from the tribunal states that the decision is not binding on the Secretary of State.
In reality how likely is it that they will not revise the decision? And what would the next steps be to take?
Also if decision is revised would the additional payments due be backdated to October 17?
Thanks in advance for any advice

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
Just to confirm, your daughter was placed back in the Support Group by the Tribunal panel.
If this is correct then I am not sure why the Decision Notice says this, this wording is used for a WRAG award as payment is dependant on the claimant's circumstances but these issues do not apply to an SG award.
The Tribunal Decision applies from the date of the Decision that was appealed so if that was October 2017 then this will be when back payments will apply from.
It normally 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 Tribunal Notice.
