Well here is the latest in the pathetic justice system for the disabled! After 16 medical reports from 10 specialist to back us up, the appeal came to the conclusion that my husband was not disabled enough for DLA with epilepsy, brain damage, a leg brace to walk, depression and severe mood swings due the head injury and 3 suicide attempts. The judge said we had to pay the DWP £25,000 back. The DWP are still pursuing fraud in court and we although being below the poverty line and can barely feed ourselves, have to pay them back £30 per month! And to top that we have paperwork a week after the second appeal that the DWP didn't have the authority to do the surveillance as it was NOT signed to say they could do it. But the judge said he hasn't reviewed our case, but has decided that we are not entitled to an upper tribunal appeal!! anyway. Can any disabled person get justice!!!!

Just an update on our dire situation, still no money! In fact we are waiting for an appeal date for DWP not paying us from our win with the tribunal last year. Also had a fraud case dropped in March but they have raised it again and we have court date this month for fraud of 25 grand for the dla case we WON in Dec last year. They have ignored our win in Dec 2011 and have decided to take it back another two years and start again from 2006. I really dont understand how we can win our case and then DWP not pay us what they owe us and take us to court for money they should be paying us! all this before we even have a date for another appeal. In the judges eyes we are entitled to DLA and payment but in DWps eyes we are guilty after being prooved inocent! Me and my children have saved my husbands life twice, where is the justice!

I am sorry to say but they have done this to so many people it's criminal. My husband won his case as you did, we got the same letter. 5 months later they sent a letter to say they were going to go back another two years and start again. We have appealed and are still waiting for a date. In the mean time they are taking him to court for fraud for 25 grand before we even have a date for our appeal. They are evil and I suggest very strongly that you get a solicitor or you being 100% right will get stuffed by the DWP. Our has been going on for nearly 2 and a half years. My husband had 4 medical specialist backing him and they still said they dont agree with 4 judges. Get as much backing as you can!

Wouldn't it be interesting to find out how many people have won their appeals and not been paid, how much money are they keeping from people who are fully entitled?

I totally agree with you, we won our tribunal case for DLA unanamously in December last year and they still have't paid us, all we keep getting is they are looking into thedecission of the judge and my husband is very depressed and has tried to commit suicide twice because of the stress and financial problems this is causing. They just don't care!

Hi We are in the same position and had the same reply's we won our appeal on the 19th December 2010 and still have had nothing with the same answers they are looking into the decission of the tribunal judge. It is now 30th April, we are at our witts end so we have gone to our MP for help and he is looking into it. He said it is verging on harrasment from the DWP. I think they are just hoping you will give up, my husband nearly did with trying to take his own life because of the stress! They don't care
