My friend has just been reassessed and they have reduced his award despite him having a tribunal ruling 3 years ago awarding him it for 10 years can they legally do this as I was told they would have to provide evidence that he has actually improved

PIP can re-assess you at any time, yes. Very unlikely they would before your award is actually due for renewal in most instances but it can happen. Just to check, did your friend make a change of circumstances and subsequently sent a review form? He will need to submit a Mandatory Reconsideration within one calendar month explaining why he disagrees with the decision.0

madd64 said:the main point I'm looming fir clarification on is I don't believe they can overturn the tribunal decision without providing actual evidence of how he's supposedly improved not just by a reassessment
He will need to do a Mandatory Reconsideration for the new award (success rates for this are low but is still achievable), after this it will be Tribunal again.0
