Secretary of State for Work and Pensions acknowledges getting law wrong again on meaning of PIP descriptors – will have to conduct review of old cases

The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (SSWP) has for the second time this year acknowledged an error in her department’s approach to the meaning of the Personal Independence Payment Regulations 2013. Coming after an error relating to the mobility activity ‘planning and following journeys’ which may have caused 220,000 individuals to be underpaid, the latest error affected individuals with chronic conditions needing regular monitoring or medication, such as diabetes and epilepsy.
