A quick update. We have received a letter today advising the backdated funds will be paid on 17th February.
The tribunal took place as a paper hearing and the decision was dated 30th January. We received it on 31st January.
They changed to the decision to enhanced on both from the standard rates.
The funds should be with us soon so within 17 days of the decision. They have not requested a SOR.
The award date has been extended as per the tribunals recommendation from December 2020 to January 2023.
Hope this helps other with timelines and to show that paper appeals can be successful. I wrote to them a week before the tribunal explaining I did not feel it was in my husbands best interests to attend and they accepted my reasons.
Thank you for all the support on this forum and your guidance is invaluable.
Absolutely delighted to hear that you have been awarded your enhanced PIP award for both components. I bet that has taken a great weight of your shoulders.
Thank you for posting, it gives other members hope in going through the ordeal.
Gary
