<p>Following the MH and RJ judgments, the Department updated its guidance on Personal
Independence Payment (PIP). In June 2018 it began an administrative exercise to identify
claimants assessed using previous guidance to identify those who may be entitled to
more support under PIP.</p><p> </p><p>Claimants who have had a tribunal decision since
the judgments are not being reviewed as part of the MH RJ administrative exercise.
The tribunals are obliged to apply the law as it stands (including the MH and RJ Upper
Tribunal judgments) to all appeals, and to award claimants accordingly. The Department
does not have the legal powers to override tribunal decisions.</p>
