The DWP has deployed newly-trained P.O.'s (Presenting Officers costing only £22 million) to sway the tribunals in favour of the DWP. And some judges are letting them do it!

And a win at tribunal is now not guaranteed a change in the DWP's decision.

The days of tribunals seem to be numbered, it'll soon be just the Mandatory Review only according to some insiders. And that sounds scary.
