PIP: Case Law


Case law decisions can be useful!

When challenging PIP decisions and also when trying to establish if a decision maker has made the correct decision, it can be very useful to refer to previous decisions made by the Upper-tier Tribunal or the Courts. Decision makers and the First-tier Tribunal should take into account previous Upper Tribunal / Court decisions, so when requesting a mandatory reconsideration of a decision, or appealing to the First Tier Tribunal, it is useful to check if there are any relevant decisions which can be quoted. An awareness of case law decisions can also help when completing PIP2 questionnaires.
