Judicial Summary

Judicial Summary: It is important for the First-tier Tribunal (FTT) to consider the totality of the evidence, make sufficient findings of fact and state which evidence it prefers and why, in its written reasons. It is important to consider or extrapolate from other activities which are genuinely comparable to the activity being assessed. Interpretation: Schedule 1 Part 1 of the Social Security (Personal Independence Payment) Regulations 2013 in relation to “written or printed” is read in the disjunctive sense.
