Thousands of people in receipt of Personal Independence Payments (PIP) could be due arrears from as far back as April 2016, following a recent change to the Daily Living component assessment rules around the definition of ‘social support’. The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) is now urging around 284,000 existing claimants to contact them, if they think they may have been affected.
In July 2019, the Supreme Court handed down a judgment following an Upper Tribunal (UT) decision which changed the way the DWP considers the definition of ‘social support’ for Daily Living activity number nine. The ‘MM’ judgment concerns the definition of ‘social support’ when engaging with other people face to face and when ‘prompting’ should be considered ‘social support’ in the PIP assessment, and how far in advance social support can be provided.
In September 2016, the DWP began an administrative exercise, looking at PIP claims since April 6, 2016 to check whether claimants may be eligible for more support. In a recent update published online, the DWP says it has identified around 326,000 cases to be reviewed.
However, in a recent statement to Parliament, the now, former Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work, Tom Pursglove MP, explained that due to the “complexity of the exercise we started at a relatively small scale, prioritising terminally ill and recently deceased claimants, testing our processes and communications with claimants, to ensure they are effective before ramping up”.
The new report shows at the end of August 2023, the DWP has reviewed around 79,000 cases against the MM judgment. This includes cases where claimants have previously been assessed as needing ‘prompting’.

. The singer set herself a brief that read: “fun!” for the launch of her Fenty X Puma Creeper Phattys, but rather than veer into kids’ entertainer territory, she and her bomber looked playful with a pop punk edge.Perhaps it’s the absence of authentic street style that made us zero in on her slightly off-the-wall outfit, but during an era when everything is curated or Photoshopped to the max, there’s still something exciting about the way Rih throws on an ’80s jacket (she’s also been wearing her Phattys with vintage Jean Paul Gaultier coats) and (Agolde’s are a recent favorite) while looking resolutely like herself.Rihanna’s sneaker launch ’fit was one part sporty, two parts playful.We’re under no illusion that the businesswoman’s stylist, Jahleel Weaver, cooked up this look with the same exacting approach as that red , but there’s always room within his outfits for Rihanna to have fun.
