The latest figures show that during the 2022/23 financial year, some 5,300 people successfully challenged the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) over its initial decision not to award them Personal Independence Payment (PIP). 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.
The figures include Mandatory Reconsideration outcomes up to December 30, 2022, which means the number of successful appeals could increase as more data is collated. During the 2021/22 financial year, 24,100 PIP claimants had an award decision given through Mandatory Reconsideration with 7,600 receiving at least one enhanced component payment rate.
PIP is now worth between £26.90 and £101.75 each week to successful claimants. Adult Disability Payment has now replaced PIP in Scotland and is paid at the same weekly rate.
If you have made a claim for PIP and disagree with an award decision, you can challenge it - this may include asking for the decision to be looked at again (Mandatory Reconsideration), lodging an appeal or taking it to a tribunal.
Below are some simple steps to follow if you think the DWP decision makers got it wrong.
If you don’t understand the decision on your letter, you can ask the DWP to explain it by contacting them using the details on the top right of the decision letter.
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.
