Benefitscast
David and Will discuss: Dawod v SSWP - assessing whether the DWP has considered whether to revise; The pre-budget announcement on Carer’s Allowance earnings threshold.
Marcin shares a PIP appeal from his caseload, which he took to the Upper Tribunal and was remitted back to the First-tier Tribunal.
Other news: Mobility component after pension age in a DLA to PIP transfer case (HYM v SSWP); Two stage test for considering exceptional circumstances extension to 13-month time limit for appeal (Victoria Shaw v SSWP); Benefit take-up statistics.
This Benefitscast was recorded 28 October 2026.
Correction: at 5.18 Will says that Mr Dawod got a mandatory reconsideration notice, but this was a mistake - he requested one but this was unsuccessful.
