Struggling with a PIP claim? Our PIP solicitors can help you.
At Crystal Law, we understand the challenges that often accompany Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claims. With over two decades of expertise in social welfare law, our solicitors have supported countless individuals in securing the PIP benefits they’re entitled to for daily living. We’re committed to providing clear, practical, and effective legal advice that’s accessible to clients across the UK.
Some questions we are frequently asked are:
What can I do if my PIP claim is refused or I receive a low award?
You can challenge the decision by:
- Requesting a Mandatory Reconsideration
- Appealing to an independent tribunal if the decision is not changed
Strict time limits apply, so early legal advice is important.
Why are so many PIP claims refused or under-awarded?
Common reasons include:
- Assessment reports that do not accurately reflect your condition
- Decision-makers misunderstanding fluctuating or invisible conditions
- Insufficient supporting evidence: medical or functional evidence
- Claimants struggling to explain the impact of their condition during assessments
Many incorrect decisions are successfully challenged.
How long do I have to appeal a PIP decision?
You usually have one month from the date of the decision letter to request a Mandatory Reconsideration or to lodge an appeal. Late appeals may be accepted in limited circumstances.
