PIP claim/ representation

Does anyone   know what % of PIP claims are successsful at Lower Tribunal (bearing   in mind rightsnet story   of 15/2/22)?

Thanks   in advance

I guess you are referring to this article:
https://www.rightsnet.org.uk/welfare-rights/news/item/doubling-of-universal-credit-appeals-in-the-three-months-to-december-2021-is-main-reason-behind-the-first-increase-in-total-social-security-appeal-receipts-since-late-2020

If you click through to the statistical report on which it is based (here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/tribunal-statistics-quarterly-july-to-september-2021/tribunal-statistics-quarterly-july-to-september-2021), there is further detail including:

Of the disposals made by the SSCS Tribunal, 15,000 (63%) were cleared at hearing, and of these, 59% were overturned in favour of the customer (down from 69% and 72% on the same period in 2020 respectively). This overturn rate varied by benefit type, with PIP at 67%, Disability Living Allowance (DLA) 65%, Employment Support Allowance (ESA) 54%, and UC 42%. The PIP, DLA, ESA and UC overturn rates fell by 9, 5, 22 and 21 percentage points on July to September 2020 respectively.

If that answers your question?

Payment of arrears following successful appeal?  Are there any figures which address this?

Payment of arrears following successful appeal?  Are there any figures which address this?

Sorry, I don’t understand the question.

There will be arrears due in basically every successful PIP appeal unless perhaps the only issue was a historic overpayment or the length of an ongoing award.

I don’t think there are any published stats going into e.g. the average amount paid following a successful appeal or how long it takes to pay after the appeal if that is what interests you. Perhaps the DWP would provide those on an FOI.
