PIP appeals

Leading on from the recent discussion, it looks like it is indeed national policy for the PIP office to request the SOR following a successful appeal. They’ve just done it with our first appeal outcome and the letter is clearly a standard one.

Client has been waiting for well over a year now (appeal outcome was SR of DLC and ER of MC) and now faces the prospect of a further lengthy delay before anything is paid to her. It’s not doing anything for her physical or mental health.

Edited to say that I just asked someone on the PIP advisorline if this is indeed policy and having checked with someone else she confirmed that it is. So be warned…

Is there a PIP adviser line?

No. Slip of the pen. I meant the PIP general info line. Am still in DLA mode.
