Advise about LEAP

Hi Anees

You are the second member to ask about this today. The government say they are going to contact everyone. You can ask, but I suspect you will be told to wait as they have a lot of claims to look through.

Asking won't affect your current claim.

Hi Anees

A couple of points to bear in mind

Mobility Decisions made before 28.11.16 will not be reviewed, however, it may be possible to argue that a claimant met the criteria from this date and therefore should be considered. Any argument must be based on the claimant's limitations as they were at this time and evidence must clearly reference this time as well. Realistically, new evidence and testimony trying to reference back to this date is going to struggle and is unlikely to be accepted.

Second, it is important to remember that Descriptors (e) and (f) are mutually exclusive of each other!

In short, a claimant cannot argue that they meet (f) without fundamentally undermining the reasons that (e) was awarded, if it was, with a danger that they might score lower or even not at all if they do not clearly show that they meet the higher criteria. There is no way to mitigate this situation.

Clear evidence of Overwhelming Psychological Distress when following a route is essential.

Hi Anees

My understanding of LEAP is that it affects the mobility component of PIP, as you are already receiving the enhanced mobility component therefore it will make no difference to your claim.

Asking for a review will make no difference to your claim, in fact you could loose what you already have been awarded.
