RECENT TRIBUNAL DECISIONS

You haven't said anything wrong
The DWP had an opportunity when they wrote the Statutory Instrument that changes the Descriptors, to define how existing (re)assessments would be affected, they chose not to which means that their intention is that it will apply to all new Decisions from the 16th onward.
This doesn't stop you arguing, if you do have to appeal, that as your claim was starred before the change the UTT Decision should apply, I just don't believe that the panel will apply it.

It looks like I've said something wrong! I'm just wondering which is right is it claims or the decision as this is VERY IMPORTANT to me as I'm most likely looking at going to appeal.
