“In 2014, Miss S received enough points for both Daily Living and Mobility components,” said Mr Ruparelia. “This reflected her serious medical issues.”
However, in 2017, her PIP was re-assessed. As a result, her points were drastically cut, and her payments dropped sharply.
Medical evidence clearly showed that Miss S’s condition had deteriorated, not improved. In fact, she now suffers from:
Chronic Fibromyalgia
Anxiety and depression
Migraines
Plantar Fasciitis (a painful foot condition)
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (a thyroid disease)
Therefore, her entitlement should have increased, not reduced.
“Her condition was worse than in 2014, yet her benefits were reduced,” said Mr Ruparelia. “This makes no sense.”
Moreover, he continued: “Many people think they can’t appeal a PIP decision. But Miss S proved that wrong. She fought and won.”
“If your PIP has been reduced unfairly, get expert legal advice,” urged Mr Ruparelia. “An appeal may feel intimidating, but it can make a huge difference.”
Consequently, Miss S regained her independence. For her, it meant being able to cope with everyday life, supported by her family and community.
“In the end, justice was served,” he said. “Miss S now receives the payments she deserves.”
