We hear about people having problems with their PIP (personal independence payment) on an almost daily basis.  PIP reviews going wrong; people losing payments they need; delays in payments; incorrect award decisions. Scott-Moncrieff’s specialist solicitor, Prakash Ruparelia, is working with people to ensure they receive the correct payments.

“With over one and a half million people having their PIP claims reviewed we are seeing an awful lot of clients who have had their payments slashed or even cut altogether, often because of a mistake or misunderstanding in the system,” says Prakash.

“Many thousands could be owed money because some assessments are thought to have been discriminatory. 

“At Scott-Moncrieff we act for people who wish to appeal against wrong or discriminatory decisions.  We have the expertise and commitment to work hard to get decisions overturned.  I am proud to say we have had some major successes.”

One of the key areas of concern is where claimants are eligible for a bigger disability benefit payment if they cannot make a familiar journey by themselves.  People with mental health conditions who are unable to make such a journey should also be eligible.

If you have been denied payments or wish to appeal against a PIP decision, please contact Prakash to obtain his initial advice.  Call him on 0207 841 1099 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
