Case law on holidays and PIP

Try KN v SSWP (ESA) [2011] UKUT 229 (AAC).

There are others I am sure as it is a longstanding issue (see also the ability to drive).

I have rattling around in the back of my mind that there’s some case law out there (might be a DLA case) to the effect that a Tribunal could be leading itself into making an error of law if it places too much weight on a one-off trip that a claimant makes abroad. I’ve got a case where, from the statement of reasons, it appears a Tribunal have done just this but I’m struggling to put my finger on what the case was where this is mentioned as a concept.

Anyone with a better memory or better Google fu who can point me in the right direction would receive my hearty thanks for their assistance!

Knew I could count on this Forum for the answers. Thanks both!

See also CDLA/3447/2012 for an old-school one. I have a word file of it, if you can’t find a copy online just message me and I can send it over.

Hi Alex - if you email it to us we could put it in our case law archive - https://www.rightsnet.org.uk/resources/disability-living-allowance

Of course Daphne, I have attached it to this post - I think that should do it?

(edit: don’t know why I didn’t do that in the first place)

Kind regards

Alex
