I may be wrong, but I have researched this a lot. My arrears were/are PIP and SDP as a result of a Tribunal, so awarded on Error of Law. I have researched the UC and Pension Credit bit as this is relevant to the SDP part of my backpay. Both lots were over 5K. I will presumably be receiving PIP until I am dead or the system changes again.

If the above Statutory Instrument has been abolished, please let me know. Thank you.

Hi Angel

As far as I am aware the statutory instrument is still valid, I do quote from it quite often on the forum.

Thank you for posting the ink

Unless the Tribunal Decision corrected an actual Error of Law which would be unusual, as opposed to revising an entitlement Decision then no Error of Law would have occurred and the Regulations you have linked to do not apply.

So did an actual Error or Law occur?

I think so. Official error at the very least (which is also covered). The DWP did not follow legislation on a couple of points. It went to the UT. I then had a second FTT.

That does not mean that there was an Error in the making of the DWP Decision. The UTT would have considered Errors made by the panel of your first FTT not the DWP.
