PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Personal Independence Payment (15 June 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to her Written Statement of 15 June 2108, on personal independence payments, HCWS767, whether previously unsuccessful personal independence payments claimants for daily living allowance 3 who had their claims refused after March 2017 will now have their claim reviewed according to a (a) LEAP exercise, (b) full case review or (c) any other review.

Dame Angela Eagle (Labour)

The March 2017 amending regulations clarified the original policy intent. The Upper Tribunal judgment in LB only affects the period before the amending regulations and the claimants outlined in the Written Statement HCWS767 will be included in the review. As stated in this update, my Department has now begun work to implement LB judgment in the best interest of all affected claimants for the period 28^th November 2016 to 16^th March 2017.
