Contrary to recent Tory spin, the Department of Work & Pensions (DWP) is rejecting 40% of all Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claims.

Shockingly, these include:

50% with cerebral palsy
25% of amputees
40% with muscular dystrophy
45% with multiple sclerosis

This government continues its war on the disabled and vulnerable, purely to appeal to that portion of the electorate which has been taught to believe disability is a scam.

I wonder what current appeal success rate is at tribunal is? (when they eventually get to tribunal).
In my foodbank days, it was 60-70% success, which was an eloquent comment on uselessness/malice of DWP.

@blepharon It's around 70% according to this article. Of course many applicants don't have the means or access to professional backing to go to tribunal.
