Tribunal Statement of Reasons

A question about : Tribunal Statement of Reasons

Is it normal practice for DWP to ask a tribunal (to which they didn't attend) for a statement of reasons regarding the appeal decision in my favour?
(ESA)

First thing I knew about it was when the Tribunal statement of reasons appellants copy came through my letter box.

Best answers:

• Don't forget that DWP can only go to Upper Tier Tribunal if they can show an Error in Law, not just because they don't like the decision.
• I had a tribunal in November, the DWP did attend, they said they might appeal and ask for a statement of reasons, from the time of the statement of reasons being written to being paid was about 7 weeks about 9 weeks in total from the tribunal. Like you I was stressing, but they paid fairly quickly after their time past for appeal.
  What date was the SOR written and what length of time have they got to appeal?
