PIP removed on planned review

CPIP/1693/2016

Tribunal must identify grounds of supersession and date from which it takes effect when dealing with a decision to withdraw an existing award of PIP

What are peoples thought on this, we are getting many PIP awards removed at planned review sometimes 1/2 years before original award due to end with very similar circumstances as in this case.

2 health care reports, same circumstances, different outcomes, without any reference to why the less positive report is favored. but stating new medical evidence is ground for supersession and that customer had change in needs.

I am thinking should we ask tribunal in the first instance to direct the DWP to explain in more detail why they prefer less favorable reports prior to a hearing, putting the onus on the decision makers rather than the tribunal, or should we ask tribunals to consider that the are no substantial grounds for a supersession especially if the decision makers give no reasons, so original decision cannot be changed.

ANy thoughts greatly appreciated
