PIP timings?
8 years 10 months ago #168181 by Gordon
It is explained in the guide
There are two Exceptional Circumstances Regulations; 29 for the WRAG and 35 for the Support Group. They are a catch all for claimants who do not meet any of the ESA Descriptors but still have significant issues. Basically they look at the risk of harm to the claimant (or someone else) if the they are found Fit for Work (29) or able to perform Work Related Activity (35).
The main thing to be aware of is that they operate differently from the normal Descriptors in that the claimant must provide up to date evidence that they meet the requirements, just because a claimant met the criteria in the past does not mean that will be considered as meeting it now.
