Hi Guys.
My brother has had his PIP rejected on a face to face assessment as he was previously awarded PIP on a paper based report.
He attended but did not provide much evidence.
After appealing he now has the evidence he needs but is due to goto a hearing on the 17th of this month.
in the respondents defense, the apellent has switched between my brother and two other female names who are obviously not the appellent. And referred to the assessment having took place at home when the report that was given, clearly states that he attended the assesment centre.
So in the respondents defence, the assessment having took place at home has not been geographically identified as the report that they intend to rely on states, the assessment took place in a different location.
Would the court strike out their defense out as it cannot be realistically envisaged that the statement was given in truth pursuant to the practice direction 22?
any of your thoughts would be helpfull!.
