LND v The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
Checked against the judgment on 21 August 2026 · how we verify
Facts
The claimant claimed personal independence payment on 21 January 2014; the claim was refused on 16 September 2014, was reconsidered but not revised, and her appeal was refused by the First-tier Tribunal on 10 March 2015, which awarded 5 points for daily living and 4 for mobility. On a further claim made on 30 April 2015 the Secretary of State awarded the standard rate daily living component only, from 30 April 2015 to 7 September 2018. Following an award review, a supersession decision of 11 December 2017 again awarded the standard rate daily living component only; the claimant appealed, but on 18 June 2019 the Secretary of State revised that decision to award the enhanced daily living and standard mobility components from 7 September 2017, so that the appeal lapsed. In 2022 the Secretary of State invited a revision application in light of MH and RJ; the resulting LEAP decision of 16 December 2022 refused to revise both the September 2015 decision and the 2019 decision, and mandatory reconsideration was refused on 26 May 2023. The First-tier Tribunal sitting at Darlington on 26 June 2024 allowed her appeal in part, revising the September 2015 decision for official error. Upper Tribunal Judge West granted permission to appeal on 20 December 2025.
