Hi there - I just need a bit of clarification about a recent article in the regular B&W email. Could somebody tell me what is the difference between the 8% and the 70% mentioned below? It looks like they are talking about the same thing to me, but I'm probably just being thick!
JUST 8% OF DISALLOWED PIP CLAIMS OVERTURNED AT APPEAL Only 8% of disallowed personal independence payment (PIP) claims were overturned at appeal in 2017/18 according to figures released this month. However, set against this is the fact that over 70% of claimants who appeal a PIP decision are successful.
They are talking about the same thing but from different perspectives, when you put them together it tells us that only about 1 in 10 claimants actually challenge an adverse Decision.
