Hi s,
No the DWP cannot simply reverse it, but they can seek leave to appeal the decision to The Upper Tier if it can be shown that the Tribunal have erred in law in coming to the decision.

Hi s,
Please do not post in capitals !!!
It won't make us answer any sooner and comes across as shouting to members that use screen reader software.
I answered your duplicate query above earlier on today which included a link to another post, as seen above !!
The DWP cannot simply reverse a Tribunal decision !!
It would be normal for the DWP to take 6-8 weeks to take action on a Tribunal decision.
You need to contact DWP ESA for an update :
THE ESA PHONE NUMBER DWP : 0345 608 8545 Press Option 3 for ESA. (Open 8AM-6PM. Mon-Fri.)

Hi s,
As I have already stated, 6 to 8 weeks is the norm !!
They cannot take as long as they want, and if the delay continues, you can complain to your M.P.
Contacting your MP
Or, you could ring ESA, the earlier the better, and ask for an escalation to a Supervisor/Manager.
This will involve a call back, that's why you need to ring early !!
