Personal Independence Payment: Appeals
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what appeals process is available to personal independence payment claimants whose claims are subject to review under the personal independence payment assessment guidance set out in the Written Statement of 2 November 2017, HCWS218.
- Answer
-
We will be undertaking a Legal Entitlement Administrative Procedure (LEAP) to ensure claimants’ awards are updated in line with a recent Upper Tribunal judgment around the term ‘safely’. This is a complex exercise which we need to get right and we are committed to ensuring this process is fair to all. Claimants will be notified of appeal rights in accordance with applicable statutory requirements.
