The DWP made repeated errors in her claim to benefit. Philippa was found dead at home after taking an overdose in October 2019 following her Personal Independence Payment (PIP) benefit being stopped.
A draft internal process review (IPR) of her case has been published after it was obtained by the Disability News Service (DNS), which mounted a legal challenge following government lawyers attempts to block its release during the inquest into the Philippa’s death.
The DNS released the review to the coroner on January 15 and they include conclusions drawn by senior DWP staff into how Philippa’s claim for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) had been dealt with from late 2018 till her death in October 2019.
