Judicial Summary

In a DLA to PIP conversion case, are there occasions on which the principles of R(M) 1/96 may apply so as to require a tribunal hearing a PIP appeal to explain a divergence from an earlier DLA decision?

An application by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions for permission to appeal against this decision was refused by the Upper Tribunal.
