As outlined in the Written Statement of 15th June 2018 (HCWS767), the department will be conducting an administrative exercise to identify claimants who may be affected by the Upper Tribunal judgment in LB.

My Department are now working at pace and taking all steps necessary for this administrative exercise to take place later in the year.

This administrative exercise to identify claimants who may be affected by the judgment will include all those who were in receipt of PIP or received a PIP decision during the period between the date of the LB judgment (28 November 2016) and the date of the March 2017 amendments (16 March 2017). It will include claimants currently assessed as needing support to manage medication or monitor a health condition.
