UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2024 and 2025

As stated in this case the disability and its requirements are consistent with the applicable law and its provisions for the management of chronic illness and disability, hence the newly revised guidelines, guidance and planned delivery still being implemented by dwp and so overlooked to date - as can happen due to persistent medical errors of ignorance or else 2nd opinion.

the disclosure (to the MEA) of dwp guidance for decision makers had to be very heavily redacted for fear of fraudulent claims, so this claimant cannot refer to and rely on it as applicable to the decision still in question.

If the Tribunal needs to be confidentially informed then this case becomes a test of this new guidance (previous guidance was published in full)

This case is weighty enough as it is without the added dimension of national interest

I don't know if the justice of this medico-legal tribunal system still requires the dwp to provide a specific reply to each specific in the appeal letter. If so, the dwp may opt to withdraw and backdate the blocked award, instead. Or rely upon its clinical opinion in cases where the disability remains consistent with the diagnosis

When the dwp makes just decisions then it need not lose the game of legal precedents - by setting case law against its conflicted purpose. I would go even further and stop the commercial exploitation of government administration. It would be economically cost-effective to end experimental trial and error in the profit margin.
