PIP Mandatory Reconsiderations are now taking on average 39 days to process.
The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions show that the clearance time for people challenging their Personal Independence Payment award decision is now 39 working days. The Department said this was down to improvements in “processes and increasing decision-making capacity”.
If you have made a claim for PIP and disagree with the award decision, you can challenge it - this may include asking for the decision to be looked at again , lodging an appeal or taking it to a tribunal. Ask for Mandatory Reconsideration A Mandatory Reconsideration is when the DWP looks at their decision again and decides whether to change it.
The tribunal looks at the evidence from both sides, then makes a final decision. It is part of the court system - it is not part of the DWP. Latest PIP to ADP Transfer Updates Complete the appeal form There are two ways to appeal. You can either:Explain why you are appealing The most important part of the application is ‘Grounds for appeal’- if you’re filling in form SSCS1, this is Section 5. In this box you need to give the specific reasons why you disagree with the decision.
Tribunals can look at your whole award again. So you should consider whether you risk losing your current award - for example, if you've got evidence to support a daily living component but might lose your mobility award because you can now move better.
