PIP Appeal was created by Joan
Hi
I have received a decision notice today from the first tier tribunal, unfortunately my appeal has been refused as I only scored 6 points which is insufficient to meet the threshold. The tribunal accepts that I have the medical conditions specified in the case papers and have awarded 6 points for daily living and 0 points for mobility because I can drive a manual car. Can you please let me know if it’s worth requesting a statement of reasons from the judge to appeal the decision.

Thank you in advance Joan

Hi Joan

Only you can answer that question.

You have nothing to loose if you ask for a written statement of reason (WSOR) and a copy of the record of proceedings.

To go to the upper tier tribunal you need to find an error in law in the WSOR.

When you apply for a WSOR it may take a few months before you receive it, if you need help then contact either your local Welfare Rights Organisation or Law Centre: advicelocal.uk or lawcentres.org

Hi Gary,
Thank you for letting me know. It states in the decision letter that I only have 1 month to appeal, is this after receiving the written statement of reason. I will request the WSOR straight away, and also a copy of the record of proceedings.
Thank you again Gary for your help with this.
Kind regards Joan

If you do not apply for a SoR then you have one month from the date of the Decision Letter from the Tribunal.

If you do apply for a SoR then it will be one month from the date of the letter accompanying the SoR.
