Three in four disabled people are winning disability benefit appeals
More than three in four sick and disabled people who contest disability benefit decisions by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) in some parts of the UK are seeing those decisions over-turned on appeal, according to damning figures obtained by BBC Wales.
The shocking statistics have prompted one charity to urge the UK Government to “get a grip” of “fundamental flaws” in assessments for Personal Independence Payment (PIP), claiming too many people are wrongly denied the financial support they desperately need.
