Thousands of disabled people who are appealing personal independence payment (PIP) decisions are winning their cases against the Department for Work and Pensions, suggesting huge flaws in the assessment process.
Almost 80,000 Personal Independence Payment (PIP) decisions were overturned at initial review last year, figures released to The Independent show.
Meanwhile, separate data shows the cost of these reviews has risen by 26% in the last two years, despite the fact that the number of reviews carried out by the DWP decreased by 23% over the same period.
