Upper Tribunal clarifies PIP journey planning descriptors

What was published

A three-judge panel allowed two PIP appeals, set aside the First-tier Tribunal decisions and remitted the cases. It addressed the order for considering mobility activity 1 descriptors, reliability, psychological distress and the required-period test.

Why it matters

Evidence should address what a person can do reliably and why an activity was not undertaken, rather than relying only on whether a journey happened on a given day. The full decision controls the detailed legal test.
