[2024] UKUT 86 (AAC)

The Appellant made a claim for PIP on 5 March 2021. One of the Secretary of State’s decision-makers refused that claim on 31 August 2021, scoring the Appellant at nil points for both components. The FTT dismissed the Appellant’s appeal.In short, the FTT placed more weight on what the Appellant said in her claim form and the record of the HCP assessment than on the Appellant’s later submissions. It considered the Appellant had ‘overstated’ the impact of her health conditions.
