How to challenge your PIP award decision and ask the DWP to look at your claim again
New figures show that during the 2022/23 financial year, some 5,300 people successfully challenged the Department for Work and Pensions over its initial decision not to award them Personal Independence Payment . Of that total, some 1,500 claimants have also been awarded at least one enhanced payment rate of either the daily living or mobility component of the disability benefit through the Mandatory Reconsideration process.
If you don’t know if the decision is right, you can check whether you qualify by doing the PIP self test on the Benefits and Work website here. Get a Mandatory Reconsideration Notice Once the DWP has looked again at the decision, they will send you a Mandatory Reconsideration Notice. The Mandatory Reconsideration Notice will tell you if the decision has been changed or it stays the same.
The appeal will look at whether the decision was right at the time it was made - they won’t consider whether your condition has got worse since then. You might have done this already for your Mandatory Reconsideration Letter - if so, you can use the same examples and pieces of evidence again. Getting help with your appeal You can get help with your appeal from your local Citizens Advice, or a local disability support agency or group.
