At the end of the tribunal, the clerk handed me a Decision Notice, which stated I had been awarded 6 points for daily living, and 4 for mobility- obviously not enough to qualify for PIP.
I was reading through the Statement of Reasons today, and noticed that the SoR states that the Tribunal's decision was that I should be awarded 2 points for daily living, and 4 points for PIP. The SOR also referred incorrectly to the date of a letter of evidence.
Is this inaccuracy enough for me to contest the decision? I have been trying in vain to see a benefits advisor, but they all seem to be so busy, and I am running out of time now.
It's not enough for it to be an Error it must also have a substantive effect on the Decision, I'm afraid I do not think that these inaccuracies will meet the second requirement even if you can show that they meet the first, which in no way is a given.
The things to be looking for are whether the Decision is supported by the evidence available and the panel has explained how they made their Decision.
