“Noting that 72% of PIP appeals ruled in favour of the applicant last summer, the Work and Pensions Secretary stated this was 'too high' and that the appeals system would be examined to ensure that fewer claimants have to seek redress.”

It’s really sad that ill individuals have to try and explain what it’s like living with an illness to yet another so called “medical worker”. Who has absolutely no idea!!!!!
These pip people are just as bad as all the doctors who write people off as having a mental disorder !!!!!
Awaiting a decision from assessment the now, whole experience is extremely stressful. Gathering all evidence of my conditions was a nightmare as almost everything is so far behind in health service now.
I hope they decide soon. I have a Tribunal but no date. Welfare Rights said you usually have to wait a year. I’m “fortunate” because I “only” had a PIP reduction rather than complete refusal. I fantasise that DWP looks at the submission Welfare Rights made and throw in the towel.
