class="text-description"><p>Over the past five years, more than 400,000 benefit claimants have successfully been awarded Personal Independence Payments (PIP) after undergoing a mandatory reconsideration. This process allows individuals who have had their initial PIP claim denied to challenge the decision with the Department for Work and Pensions (<a href="https://www.express.co.uk/latest/dwp" data-link-tracking="InArticle|AutoLink">DWP</a>), leading to a second review of their claim.</p><p>The free service is applicable to a variety of benefits including PIP, <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/latest/attendance-allowance" data-link-tracking="InArticle|AutoLink">Attendance Allowance</a>, Carer's Allowance, Income Support, among others. Official data reveals that 34 per cent of the 1.3 million mandatory reconsiderations lodged for PIP resulted in a positive outcome over the last five years.</p><div id="ad-vip-article"><div id="div-gpt-ad-vip"></div></div><div id="mantis-recommender-top-placeholder"></div><p>PIP is designed to help those with a disability, long-term illness or physical or mental health condition cover additional daily living or mobility costs. Successful PIP claims can range from £28.70 to £184.30 per week, paid every four weeks, equating to between £114.80 and £737.</p><p>A claimant could receive the maximum rate of both, amounting to £737.20 each pay period, or the standard rate of both, totalling £405.40.</p><p>Disability minister Sir Stephen Timms has disclosed that over the past five years, 32,000 people received zero points initially for their Personal Independence Payment (PIP) but later got upgraded to the enhanced rate following mandatory reconsideration. Nevertheless, there’s growing concern about the increasing delays in the mandatory reconsideration process.</p><div id="taboola-ad"></div></div><div class="text-description dont-miss"><p> <strong> READ MORE </strong> <strong> <a data-link-tracking="InArticle|Link" href="/finance/personalfinance/1975993/dwp-pip-assessment-process-under-review-mps-demand-unacceptable-changes"> DWP PIP assessment process 'under review' as MPs demand 'unaccept </a> </strong></p></div><div class="text-description"><p>Official data shows the wait time soared from 37 days in December 2023 to an average of 71 days in July 2024, although Mr Timms acknowledged a slight decrease to an average of 69 working days as of September 2024.
