Challenging Welfare Decisions (Advanced)
About
The process of claiming benefits is not always an easy one, and sadly not everyone is given the award they deserve. Records show that 1 in 4 PIP (Personal Independence Payments) decisions go unchallenged due to the stress of the process. Since March 2022, we have seen a rise in Sanctions in the UK with 93,000 claimants having their benefits sanctioned according to DWP statistics. This is why it is so important that claimants understand the process of challenging a decision.This course will provide you with the practical tools, tactics, insight and skills to get the best outcomes for people needing support with challenging DWP decisions. You will learn which benefits can be challenged and the timescales involved. You will gain an understanding of the DWP terminology and procedures including how and when to use Mandatory Reconsiderations, Revisions, Appeals and Supersessions.
