Need someone to explain this though!


Have a look at the explanatory notes at the bottom, but basically this reverses two recent UTT Decision, one in relation to Managing Treatments and the other the recent three Judge Decision on Mobility.

In laymans terms what does this mean - exactly - I have just put in an Appeal a part of which is based on some of this - so how is this going to affect what i put in especially around Managing therapy and the going out bit?

This is all getting ridiculous now!

If they are our rights, why do we have to fight for them?

There is now an item in the news section that has more information.

So i take it that if you currently get the lower mobility component of DLA on account of needing someone with you on a journey to an unfamiliar place you won't now qualify for PIP if your reason for needing someone with you is for psychological rather than physical reasons.

Is there grounds for an appeal against this latest change or is it set in stone given it's government legislation ?

Claimants still have the opportunity to receive the Standard rate by meeting Descriptor (e).

As they have changed the legislation there is no opportunity for an individual to challenge it.
