People wrongly assessed after high court rulings.

Hi everybody,
I was on the phone with Pip yesterday and asked how they are identifying people wrongly assessed under the PIP high court ruling who may have missed out.

I ask this not just for myself but I have a friend who is in an even more dire situation than myself.

The pip advisor told me this doesn't apply to me, as I was transitioned from DLA in 2018 and the high court ruling was in 2016.

My understanding however, is that MA case was heard in 2016 and another, known as RJ was in 2017.

My recollection of this news is that it didn't really become public knowledge about the possible numbers of people adversely affected who may be owed back pay as a result?

I find it impossible to believe that individuals have been assessed properly immediately following these rulings?

I'm not sure what year my friend was assessed but it was quite a while before me.

My question is, is it only people assessed in 2016 or earlier perhaps who may have missed out? Which is what the pip advisor tells me.

I just find it very hard to believe that all of the individual people assessed since that ruling, had their cases looked at by DWP with the MA  ruling in mind.

What then of RJ case? Which unless I'm wrong was heard and decided in 2017? 

Does it seem impossible that local DWP and ATOS or capita centres, won't have still made rulings that were based on guidelines before MA and RJ?

We still hear horror stories of the draconian treatment of people with disabilities in 2021.

I know my hearing didn't consider these rulings, as I made the huge mistake of citing them in my appeals, which really seemed to tick the judge off at my FTT. ( she virtually flung the pages across the table asking 'where did I get these?' 

Any advice on this appreciated, if only to be able to help my friend or others, who scored zero points, despite 3 strokes, a serious back injury that left him unable to do his previous job as a mechanic, nor much else as he can't sit for too long and can't stand for long either as well as suffering severe right sided weakness from his strokes.

Thanks in advance if anyone can advise?
