Benefits and Work readers are being offered a huge 50% discount on the new edition of Mark Perlic’s invaluable 600+ page PIP Case Law pack. Used by advice agencies, tribunal judges and representatives across the UK, It is by far the most up-to-date and comprehensive collection of decisions anywhere.
As many readers will know, MNP Training has been publishing DLA case law and WCA case law packs for many years. But the first edition of the PIP Case Law pack came only came out in 2019 and ran to 465 pages.
A lot can happen in two years though, and this second edition contains 680 pages of case law, detailing over 350 Upper Tribunal (and Northern Ireland Social Security Commissioners) and superior courts decisions.
It provides coverage of the case law which has developed in a number of important areas including failure to attend a medical, adverse decisions, mobility and mental health, supersessions and renewals.
If you are trying to find out what the law actually is on any PIP topic, rather than what the DWP claim it is, this is the place to look.
As Hugh Howard, Regional Tribunal Judge, explains in his introduction to the book:
"I am disinterested in which party wins the appeal. What is of paramount importance is that they come before an impartial and informed Tribunal to obtain the justice to which they are entitled. This book contributes enormously to the ability of the Tribunal to deliver that justice."
There are sections on:
- each of the different ‘daily living component’ activity areas
- each of the different ‘mobility component’ activity areas
- safely, to an acceptable standard, repeatedly and within a reasonable time period
- 50% of days test
- the required period - the retrospective test and prospective test
- aids and appliances
- PIP Supersessions and Renewals
- adverse Decisions
- face-to-face assessments
- DLA to PIP transfer / migration Cases
