Hi there, in the B&W newsletter today, the news was that "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."
Please can you explain what the difference is between a disallowed claim being overturned at appeal and appealing a PIP decision? I ask because my tribunal hearing is next week...
So, of all the PIP Decisions where no award is made only 8% of these are overturned at appeal, this means that a lot of claimants, 80+% do not take the Decision to appeal.
Where an appeal is made against any adverse PIP Decision then the success rate is 70%
