TL v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions: [2024] UKUT 282 (AAC)

Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision by Judge Butler on 11 September 2024

Read the full decision in UA-2023-001476-PIP.

Judicial Summary

This decision deals with the situation where the Secretary of State decides a claimant does not score enough points for a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) award, and later indicates she no longer disputes certain point-scoring descriptors, but they are insufficient for an award to be made.

It confirms the principles established in DO v SSWP (PIP) [2021] UKUT 161 (AAC) apply in this situation, including the requirement on a First-tier Tribunal to take into account the Secretary of State’s changed view.
