    It usually takes 5-8 weeks for the DWP to start payments following a tribunal decision

    Three weeks after Tribunal I received DWP Award Letter advising me that arrears would be in my account next day.  First payment at new rate was about 10 days later which would have been the usual date for the old rate payment.  So I suppose it'll be a similar timescale from when you receive DWP letter saying they are not going to appeal.
