Waiting since October for DWP answer

Last May i was awarded ESA with support by tribunal, was called for another medical in September, the outcome of medical was to be put in work related activity group, I wrote to DWP and informed my adviser at Job centre plus in October that i did not agree with this and could they have a change of opinion.Received acknowledgment of letter but i am still awaiting a decision, just had appointment at Job centre and adviser cannot beleive they have not even given her an explantion other than it can take decision maker up to six months ??
Has anyone come across this before.

Hi S,

The DWP often make mistakes. You can complain by following the advice in Complaints and Appeals

Good luck.

Thanks for that Pat, i have just received a phone call from DWP, informing me that they have sent papers to tribunal yesterday and i should be hearing from tribunal in next few days but the actual hearing can take up to six months.............more waiting,its an ever ending circle.

i myself is waiting to go to appeal again after only just winning one for e.s.a last jan,i had to wait from sept on the d.maker telling me that i am going to have to go to appeal last week and may take up to june,i,d only just won at appeal then 5mth later again failed the c,test.i cant understand them feeling my cond has changed for the better,i,v only just recieved the dr,s letter which is going to the appeal and is in my favour again,i,m sure there must be lots of money wasted in these appeals and so much misery caused to so many,i just hope i can get through the months till mine is heard,its a bad day when social security benifets are ruling peaples lifes,certainly mine as it is in my head 24/7and i,m only fighting for my own rights,so so fed up.

it is soul destroying but try to keep the faith and remember people are thinking of you.
