More than 5,000 people successfully challenged DWP over their PIP award decision by the end of last year.
The latest figures show that during the 2022/23 financial year, some 5,300 people successfully challenged the Department for Work and Pensions over its initial decision not to award them Personal Independence Payment . Of that total, some 1,500 claimants have also been awarded at least one enhanced payment rate of either the daily living or mobility component of the disability benefit through the Mandatory Reconsideration process.
If you don’t know if the decision is right, you can check whether you qualify by doing the PIP self test on the Benefits and Work website here. Get a Mandatory Reconsideration Notice Once the DWP has looked again at the decision, they will send you a Mandatory Reconsideration Notice. The Mandatory Reconsideration Notice will tell you if the decision has been changed or it stays the same.
The appeal will look at whether the decision was right at the time it was made - they won’t consider whether your condition has got worse since then. You can include all this information on a separate sheet if you’d prefer, just write ‘See enclosed information’ in the box and attach any papers securely to the form.
A representative can help you with the paperwork and might speak on your behalf. Don’t worry if you don’t have a representative - the tribunal board is most interested in hearing how your condition affects you and in your own words. Support from a friend or family member can really help, and you can do it without a professional.
