PIP Appeal - DWP Response was created by cats
Hi,

The DWP were supposed to respond to my PIP appeal almost a month ago, but they haven't. Is COVID-19 slowing things down? Do I need to do anything?

Hi cats

The latest information we have about what is happening to appeals is on the Coronavirus updates web page which is to the left of this column, I have copied the latest information below. You could contact HMCTS to check that they have received your appeal.

Q. What about appeals?
A. From 20 March 2020 for a period of at least 6 months all appeals will be dealt with initially on the papers if it is highly likely that the appeal will be decided in your favour. A provisional decision will be issued and if you and the DWP agree with it that will become the final decision. Otherwise a full hearing will take place which will be conducted either by phone or by video-link.
