<p>As outlined in the Written Statement of 25 June 2018 (HLWS767) my Department is
carrying out an administrative exercise to identify anyone who may be entitled to
more support under Personal Independence Payment (PIP) as a result of the MH and RJ
judgments.</p><p>The Upper Tribunal judgment of CP v Secretary of State for Work and
Pensions (PIP): [2018] UKUT 5 (AAC) was heard after RJ and the Tribunal therefore
considered RJ when it made its decision.</p><p> </p><p>All claimants will be notified
if we have reviewed their case. Claimants whose PIP award increases will receive backdated
payments. This will either be from the date of the judgement(s) or the start of their
PIP award, if this was after the judgment.</p><p> </p><p>Decision makers will consider
the MH judgment for all PIP decisions made since 28th November 2016. They will also
consider the RJ judgment for all PIP decisions made since 9th March 2017. This will
include claims which have been disallowed after the date of the judgment(s).</p><p>
</p><p>As additionally outlined in the Written Statement of 25 June 2018, I am committed
to updating the House regularly and a statement on progress of this exercise will
be tabled in the autumn.</p><p> </p><p>In regard to timing this is a very complex
exercise and of substantial scale. We absolutely understand the urgency of this work,
but we are also committed to carrying it out safely and correctly to ensure claimants
receive the payments they are entitled to<strong>. </strong></p>
