EF v Department for Communities (PIP)

1.���� This is an application by the Claimant for leave to appeal against a decision of an Appeal Tribunal, dated 30 September 2024, to the effect that the Applicant was not entitled to the mobility and daily living components of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) from and including 27 September 2022. �The Tribunal awarded the Claimant 7 points for the Daily Living Component of PIP and zero points for the Mobility Component.

2.���� Having considered the circumstances of the case, I am satisfied that the application can properly be determined without a hearing.

4.���� By virtue of regulation 11(3) of the Social Security Commissioners (Procedure) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999, I treat and determine this application as an appeal as both parties have given their consent.

5.���� Both parties have expressed the view that the decision appealed against was erroneous in point of law.

6.���� Accordingly, pursuant to the powers conferred on me by Article 15(7) of the Social Security (Northern Ireland) Order 1998, I allow the appeal, I set aside the decision appealed against and I refer the case to a differently constituted Tribunal for determination.
