PIP Knowledge Assessment — Questions and Answers

Question 1: Under 'Moving Around,' using an aid or appliance to walk more than 20 metres but no more than 50 metres scores how many points?

12 points
8 points
4 points
10 points (Correct answer)

Correct answer: 10 points

Using an aid or appliance to move more than 20 metres but no more than 50 metres scores 10 points, one more than the unaided equivalent.

Question 2: Can a person receive both PIP and Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) at the same time?

Yes, both can be received simultaneously (Correct answer)
No, they are mutually exclusive benefits
Yes, but only at the standard rate of each
Only if a GP certifies dual entitlement

Correct answer: Yes, both can be received simultaneously

PIP and ESA serve different purposes — PIP covers disability costs while ESA replaces lost income — so they can be claimed and received at the same time.

Question 3: A claimant's PIP award is due to expire. What should they expect from the DWP before the end date?

A letter telling them to make a brand new PIP claim
A review form (AR1) sent before the end date asking them to re-establish their needs (Correct answer)
Automatic renewal with no action required from the claimant
Nothing; they must contact the DWP themselves to trigger a review

Correct answer: A review form (AR1) sent before the end date asking them to re-establish their needs

The DWP sends a review form (PIP2/AR1) before the award end date so the claimant can demonstrate their continuing needs.

Question 4: Which of the following claimants would most likely receive an 'ongoing' (indefinite) PIP award rather than a fixed-term one?

A person who scored exactly 8 points at first assessment
A person recovering from a temporary sports injury
A person with a severe, lifelong condition unlikely to improve (Correct answer)
A person who is also claiming Universal Credit

Correct answer: A person with a severe, lifelong condition unlikely to improve

Ongoing awards are reserved for claimants whose condition is severe and there is no expectation of improvement, removing the need for regular review.

Question 5: If a PIP claimant is convicted of a criminal offence and sent to prison, what must they do?

Transfer their PIP to a family member
Nothing — PIP continues automatically during imprisonment
Report the imprisonment to DWP (Correct answer)
Apply for a brand new PIP claim upon release

Correct answer: Report the imprisonment to DWP

Imprisonment is a change in circumstances that must be reported to DWP, as PIP payments are generally suspended after four weeks in custody.

Question 6: A claimant needs to use an aid or appliance, such as a long-handled sponge, to wash their back. On most days, they also require supervision while bathing due to a risk of seizures, but they do not require physical assistance. How many points would be awarded for the 'Washing and bathing' activity?

0 points
2 points (Correct answer)
4 points
6 points

Correct answer: 2 points

Both 'Needs to use an aid or appliance to be able to wash or bathe' and 'Needs supervision or prompting to be able to wash or bathe' are descriptors that score 2 points. Since only the single highest scoring descriptor for any given activity is awarded, and both applicable descriptors have the same value, the claimant scores 2 points for this activity.

Question 7: Which government agency is responsible for carrying out PIP assessments in Great Britain?

Jobcentre Plus
Independent assessment providers contracted by DWP (Correct answer)
The Pension Service
HMRC

Correct answer: Independent assessment providers contracted by DWP

DWP contracts independent healthcare assessment providers (such as Capita or Atos) to conduct face-to-face or paper-based PIP assessments.

Question 8: A PIP claimant has a severe anxiety disorder that prevents them from leaving the house to buy food but they can cook once food is available. Which Daily Living activity is most relevant?

Managing therapy
Preparing food
Making budgeting decisions
Engaging with other people face to face (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Engaging with other people face to face

Engaging with other people face to face includes the ability to interact socially, and severe anxiety that prevents leaving the home affects this activity as well as mobility, but does not directly affect the preparing food activity.

Question 9: PIP is paid into a claimant's bank account. How frequently are payments typically made?

Every four weeks (Correct answer)
Weekly
Every two weeks
Monthly on the 1st

Correct answer: Every four weeks

PIP is normally paid every four weeks directly into the claimant's bank, building society, or credit union account.

Question 10: Which government department administers PIP claims in England, Scotland, and Wales?

NHS England
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) (Correct answer)
Local Authority Social Services

Correct answer: Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)

The DWP manages PIP claims, assessments, and payments throughout England, Scotland (partially — Adult Disability Payment is being introduced), and Wales.

Question 11: A claimant refuses to engage with a PIP face-to-face assessment due to severe social anxiety. What is the likely outcome?

PIP is automatically awarded at the enhanced rate
The claim may be disallowed unless sufficient written evidence justifies non-attendance (Correct answer)
The assessment is waived and a paper-based decision is made by default
The claimant is referred to a different benefit automatically

Correct answer: The claim may be disallowed unless sufficient written evidence justifies non-attendance

Failing to attend a PIP assessment without good reason typically results in the claim being disallowed, though medical evidence supporting non-attendance can prevent this.

Question 12: Are you able to take your medication on your own?

Yes, without any trouble at all
No, I require help or reminders. (Correct answer)
No, I am unable to independently manage my medication.
Indeed, but with some challenges

Correct answer: No, I require help or reminders.

Managing medication is a crucial daily living activity assessed by PIP. Requiring help or reminders to take medication indicates a cognitive or physical limitation that impacts independence, directly contributing to the points awarded under the 'managing therapy or monitoring a health condition' descriptor.

Question 13: What happens if the First-tier Tribunal makes a decision that is worse than the original DWP decision?

This cannot happen — the tribunal cannot reduce an award
The DWP must apply for permission before a lower award is implemented
The tribunal has full power to increase or decrease the award, including awarding nothing (Correct answer)
The tribunal can only restore the original decision, not worsen it

Correct answer: The tribunal has full power to increase or decrease the award, including awarding nothing

The tribunal can substitute any decision, including one less favourable than the DWP's original decision, so your award could be reduced or removed entirely.

Question 14: What is the role of an 'orientation aid' in the context of the Planning and Following Journeys activity?

A support worker who drives the claimant
A device or tool that helps someone with a sensory impairment navigate routes (Correct answer)
A written map provided by the DWP
A GPS device used by any traveller

Correct answer: A device or tool that helps someone with a sensory impairment navigate routes

An orientation aid is a specialist tool, such as a long cane or sensory navigation device, used by people with visual or sensory impairments to navigate journeys.

Question 15: A claimant currently receives the standard rate Daily Living component. Their condition worsens significantly. What should they do to potentially receive the enhanced rate?

Report a change of circumstances to the DWP (Correct answer)
Wait until their award review date
Apply for a new PIP claim from scratch
Request a mandatory reconsideration immediately

Correct answer: Report a change of circumstances to the DWP

Claimants must report a change of circumstances to the DWP, which can trigger a review and a possible award increase.

Question 16: What is the key clinical requirement that must be stated on an SR1 form for a PIP Special Rules claim to succeed?

That the patient is registered with a palliative care team
That the patient has a progressive disease and could reasonably be expected to die within 12 months (Correct answer)
That the patient is housebound and cannot leave home unassisted
That the patient has been receiving chemotherapy for at least 6 months

Correct answer: That the patient has a progressive disease and could reasonably be expected to die within 12 months

The SR1 must confirm a progressive disease with a reasonable expectation of death within 12 months; other factors alone are insufficient.

Question 17: Under PIP Special Rules for End of Life, is a face-to-face assessment normally required?

Yes, a short face-to-face assessment is still required
Only if the claimant requests one
No, claims are decided without a face-to-face assessment (Correct answer)
Yes, but it can be conducted by video call

Correct answer: No, claims are decided without a face-to-face assessment

One of the key benefits of Special Rules is that claimants do not have to attend a face-to-face assessment.

Question 18: A claimant with diabetes needs to check their blood glucose levels three times a day and manage insulin injections. Which Daily Living activity covers this?

Making budgeting decisions
Preparing food
Managing therapy or monitoring a health condition (Correct answer)
Washing and bathing

Correct answer: Managing therapy or monitoring a health condition

Managing therapy or monitoring a health condition covers tasks like checking blood glucose and administering insulin as part of a regular home treatment regime.

Question 19: Scotland is gradually replacing PIP with a new benefit called what?

Adult Disability Payment (ADP) (Correct answer)
Scottish Disability Benefit (SDB)
Enhanced Disability Grant (EDG)
Inclusion Payment Scotland (IPS)

Correct answer: Adult Disability Payment (ADP)

Adult Disability Payment (ADP) is the Scottish Government's replacement for PIP, administered by Social Security Scotland rather than the DWP.

Question 20: A claimant with autism has a report from a diagnostic assessment. How should this be used as PIP evidence?

It only supports the mobility component, not daily living
It provides an expert clinical account of functional difficulties relevant to communication, social situations, and daily living (Correct answer)
Autism diagnoses do not qualify for PIP regardless of the report
It is only useful if it was completed in the last six months

Correct answer: It provides an expert clinical account of functional difficulties relevant to communication, social situations, and daily living

Diagnostic assessment reports detail specific functional impairments that map to PIP daily living and mobility activity descriptors.

Question 21: What is the standard deadline for returning the PIP2 'How your disability affects you' form?

1 month from the date on the form
28 days from the date on the form
14 days from the date on the form (Correct answer)
21 days from the date on the form

Correct answer: 14 days from the date on the form

Claimants are given 1 month (usually cited as approximately 4 weeks / 28 days) to return the PIP2 form, but the formal deadline printed on the form is typically 1 month.

Question 22: What is the significance of 'case law' in a PIP tribunal appeal?

Case law only applies to Employment Support Allowance, not PIP
Only Court of Appeal decisions are binding in PIP cases
Tribunal and Upper Tribunal decisions can establish how PIP descriptors should be interpreted and applied (Correct answer)
Case law is irrelevant — only PIP regulations matter

Correct answer: Tribunal and Upper Tribunal decisions can establish how PIP descriptors should be interpreted and applied

Tribunal and Upper Tribunal decisions create case law that guides how PIP descriptors and regulations should be interpreted, and citing relevant cases can strengthen an appeal.

Question 23: Which organisation was responsible for conducting PIP assessments before Capita and Atos took over in some regions?

Serco
Reed in Partnership
MAXIMUS (Correct answer)
G4S

Correct answer: MAXIMUS

MAXIMUS was one of the original assessment providers before the current contracted providers, Capita and Atos (now Opus), handled PIP health assessments.

Question 24: Can you navigate a well-known route on your own?

Yes, however I might need some help or modifications.
Yes, I have no trouble following a well-known path.
No, I am unable to travel familiar roads on my own.
No, I have trouble following well-traveled routes on my own. (Correct answer)

Correct answer: No, I have trouble following well-traveled routes on my own.

This question relates to the 'planning and following journeys' descriptor within the PIP mobility component. Having trouble navigating familiar routes indicates a significant cognitive or mental health impairment that affects independent travel, directly impacting eligibility for the mobility component.

Question 25: Can you bring a representative or support person to your PIP tribunal hearing?

Only an approved welfare rights officer may represent you
Yes, anyone can accompany you and a qualified representative can argue your case (Correct answer)
No, you must attend alone
Yes, but only a qualified solicitor may speak

Correct answer: Yes, anyone can accompany you and a qualified representative can argue your case

You can bring a friend, family member, or representative such as a welfare rights adviser, and a qualified representative may present your case.

Question 26: A claimant is awarded both enhanced Daily Living and enhanced Mobility PIP. What is their total weekly payment in 2024/25?

£166.44 (Correct answer)
£165.55
£181.20
£148.85

Correct answer: £166.44

Enhanced Daily Living (£108.55) plus enhanced Mobility (£57.89) equals £166.44 per week.

Question 27: A claimant's condition worsens substantially after their PIP award is made. What should they do?

Contact the DWP to report the change in circumstances, which may trigger a reassessment (Correct answer)
Ask their GP to write directly to the assessment provider
Submit a brand-new PIP claim from scratch
Wait until their scheduled review date

Correct answer: Contact the DWP to report the change in circumstances, which may trigger a reassessment

Claimants are obliged to report changes in circumstances to the DWP; a worsening condition may result in a supersession decision and a higher award.

Question 28: When assessing the 'planning and following journeys' mobility activity, which descriptor would apply to someone who cannot follow any route without another person being present due to overwhelming psychological distress?

Enhanced rate mobility — cannot follow any route without supervision (Correct answer)
Standard rate mobility — needs an aid such as a GPS device
Zero points — distress is not a qualifying reason
Standard rate mobility — can plan but not follow unfamiliar routes

Correct answer: Enhanced rate mobility — cannot follow any route without supervision

Being unable to follow any route to any destination without another person due to overwhelming psychological distress scores the highest descriptor under 'planning and following journeys', qualifying for enhanced rate mobility.

Question 29: An individual aged 18 or over is admitted to an NHS hospital for an extended period. Their PIP payments are correctly stopped after 28 days. When will their PIP payments typically resume?

They will need to make a completely new claim upon leaving the hospital.
Payments will resume automatically 28 days after they are discharged.
Payments will resume on the day they are discharged from the hospital. (Correct answer)
They must wait for a new assessment to be scheduled after discharge.

Correct answer: Payments will resume on the day they are discharged from the hospital.

For adults in an NHS hospital, both the daily living and mobility components of PIP stop after 28 days. The entitlement is not lost, and payments are reinstated from the day the person is discharged without the need for a new claim.

Question 30: What is the minimum distance a claimant must be unable to exceed, aided or unaided, to score 12 points under Moving Around?

5 metres
10 metres
1 metre (Correct answer)
20 metres

Correct answer: 1 metre

Scoring 12 points on Moving Around requires that the claimant cannot stand and move more than 1 metre either aided or unaided.

Question 31: A claimant can only make simple budgeting decisions but cannot manage complex ones such as understanding bills or a bank account. How many points could they score for this activity?

6 points
2 points (Correct answer)
0 points
4 points

Correct answer: 2 points

Being able to make simple budgeting decisions but not complex ones scores 2 points under the making budgeting decisions activity.

Question 32: Under PIP, what does 'managing therapy or monitoring a health condition' include?

Therapies and monitoring tasks that must be done at home (Correct answer)
Any physical activity recommended by a physiotherapist
Hospital appointments only
Only medication prescribed by a GP

Correct answer: Therapies and monitoring tasks that must be done at home

Managing therapy covers home-based treatment and monitoring tasks, such as checking blood glucose, administering injections, or performing prescribed physiotherapy exercises.

Question 33: Do you make use of a wheelchair, cane, or walking stick as a mobility aid?

Indeed, I use a mobility aid. (Correct answer)
No, I don’t utilize any assistive technology.

Correct answer: Indeed, I use a mobility aid.

This question directly addresses the mobility component of PIP. Using a mobility aid like a wheelchair, cane, or walking stick indicates a significant physical limitation in moving around, which is a primary factor in determining eligibility and the level of award for the mobility component.

Question 34: Which of the following is a valid ground for challenging a First-tier Tribunal decision at the Upper Tribunal?

The tribunal made an error of law in reaching its decision (Correct answer)
The DWP did not send a presenting officer
New medical evidence has emerged since the hearing
You disagree with the factual findings

Correct answer: The tribunal made an error of law in reaching its decision

The Upper Tribunal can only intervene if the First-tier Tribunal made a legal error, such as misapplying legislation or failing to give adequate reasons.

Question 35: A claimant submits a care plan from their local authority as evidence. Why is this document particularly valuable?

It provides an official assessment of care needs already conducted by professionals (Correct answer)
It automatically qualifies the claimant for enhanced rate PIP
It replaces the need for a face-to-face assessment
It proves the claimant has previously received PIP

Correct answer: It provides an official assessment of care needs already conducted by professionals

A local authority care plan is an official document that independently documents assessed care and support needs.

Question 36: Which of the following statements about the PIP 'mobility' component is correct?

It applies only to wheelchair users
It covers difficulties planning or following journeys and moving around (Correct answer)
It covers only the ability to drive
It is paid at a single flat rate

Correct answer: It covers difficulties planning or following journeys and moving around

The mobility component covers two activities: 'planning and following journeys' and 'moving around,' and is paid at standard or enhanced rates.

Question 37: If a claimant's Mandatory Reconsideration does not change the decision, what is their next option?

Submit a judicial review application to the High Court
Escalate to the Upper Tribunal immediately
Appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (Social Entitlement Chamber) (Correct answer)
Reapply for PIP from scratch after six months

Correct answer: Appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (Social Entitlement Chamber)

Following an unsuccessful Mandatory Reconsideration, claimants can appeal to the First-tier Tribunal, which is an independent body that can overturn or vary the DWP's decision.

Question 38: A claimant's condition fluctuates day to day. How should the PIP assessor account for this?

By considering how the condition affects the person over a 12-month period, including good and bad days (Correct answer)
By only assessing the person on their worst recorded day
By averaging only the last 30 days of symptoms
By disregarding fluctuation and scoring only the assessment day

Correct answer: By considering how the condition affects the person over a 12-month period, including good and bad days

Assessors must consider the claimant's typical experience across a 12-month period, weighting both good and bad days rather than focusing on a single point in time.

Question 39: Under which regulation can DWP supersede (change) a PIP award without the claimant requesting a review?

Only if the claimant's GP requests a reassessment in writing
If the claimant moves to a different region of the UK
If the claimant's household income exceeds a threshold
If there has been a relevant change of circumstances or DWP has information suggesting the award may be incorrect (Correct answer)

Correct answer: If there has been a relevant change of circumstances or DWP has information suggesting the award may be incorrect

DWP has the power to supersede an award on its own initiative if new information suggests there has been a relevant change of circumstances or that the original decision was made in ignorance of a material fact.

Question 40: What is the primary purpose of a PIP 'light-touch' review?

To confirm no significant change has occurred in the claimant's condition (Correct answer)
To reassess all components from scratch
To reduce the administrative workload on the DWP
To prepare the claimant for a face-to-face assessment

Correct answer: To confirm no significant change has occurred in the claimant's condition

A light-touch review is a simplified process used to confirm that the claimant's circumstances have not significantly changed since the last award decision.

Question 41: For the daily living activity 'Reading and understanding signs, symbols and words', which of the following is an important consideration for the assessor?

Whether the claimant requires spectacles or contact lenses.
Whether the claimant's illiteracy is a result of their health condition. (Correct answer)
The claimant's ability to read Braille.
The claimant's ability to read a lengthy novel.

Correct answer: Whether the claimant's illiteracy is a result of their health condition.

The assessment considers whether an inability to read is a direct result of a health condition or impairment, such as a cognitive impairment or learning disability. Illiteracy for other reasons is not considered. Reading Braille is specifically excluded from the definition of 'reading' for this activity. The activity is about basic and complex information (e.g., signs, simple sentences), not lengthy texts like novels. Needing standard spectacles or contact lenses results in 0 points.

Question 42: Do you need assistance managing the symptoms associated with mental health disorders?

Yes, I need assistance in managing the symptoms associated with mental health disorders. (Correct answer)
No, I am capable of taking care of my own mental health symptoms.

Correct answer: Yes, I need assistance in managing the symptoms associated with mental health disorders.

This question directly relates to the PIP activity 'Managing therapy or monitoring a health condition,' which includes managing mental health symptoms. Needing assistance in this area indicates a significant impact on daily life due to a mental health condition, which is a key criterion for PIP eligibility. This response highlights a functional limitation requiring support.

Question 43: During a PIP reassessment, a claimant's condition has improved and they can now walk up to 80 metres unaided. How does this affect their Mobility Component score?

They must repay all previous payments
They drop from 8 points to 4 points on Moving Around (Correct answer)
They lose all Mobility Component entitlement immediately
No change — previously awarded points are locked in

Correct answer: They drop from 8 points to 4 points on Moving Around

Walking 50–200 metres unaided scores only 4 points (standard rate) instead of the 8 points for the 20–50 metre band, reducing their award at reassessment.

Question 44: What is the typical timeframe for the DWP to complete a Mandatory Reconsideration?

3–5 working days
Around 2 weeks
Exactly 28 calendar days by law
Up to 6–8 weeks in many cases (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Up to 6–8 weeks in many cases

While the DWP aims to complete MRs within 14 days, many take 6–8 weeks or longer, particularly when additional evidence is being gathered.

Question 45: An assessor is considering a claimant's ability to complete a mobility activity 'reliably'. What does 'reliably' mean in the context of the PIP assessment?

The claimant can complete the activity quickly and efficiently.
The claimant can complete the activity safely, to an acceptable standard, repeatedly, and in a timely manner. (Correct answer)
The claimant can complete the activity at least once a day.
The claimant can complete the activity without any help from another person.

Correct answer: The claimant can complete the activity safely, to an acceptable standard, repeatedly, and in a timely manner.

For a descriptor to apply, the claimant must be able to complete the activity reliably. This means they must be able to do so safely, to an acceptable standard, as often as reasonably required (repeatedly), and in a reasonable time period (in a timely manner).

Question 46: A claimant has severe agoraphobia and cannot leave their home to undertake any journey, even with support, because it would cause overwhelming psychological distress. Which point value would be awarded for the 'Planning and following journeys' activity?

8 points
12 points
10 points (Correct answer)
4 points

Correct answer: 10 points

The descriptor 'Cannot undertake any journey because it would cause overwhelming psychological distress to the claimant' is awarded 10 points. While there is a 12-point descriptor for this activity, it relates to the inability to follow a *familiar* route without assistance.

Question 47: A claimant can walk using a walking stick, but can only cover a distance of 40 metres before needing to stop due to severe pain and breathlessness. This effort means they cannot repeat the walk for several hours. Which descriptor for the 'Moving Around' activity is most likely to apply?

Can stand and then move more than 1 metre but no more than 20 metres, either aided or unaided.
Can stand and then move more than 20 metres but no more than 50 metres.
Can stand and then move using an aid or appliance more than 20 metres but no more than 50 metres. (Correct answer)
Can stand and then move more than 50 metres but no more than 200 metres, either aided or unaided.

Correct answer: Can stand and then move using an aid or appliance more than 20 metres but no more than 50 metres.

The claimant can move between 20 and 50 metres and requires an aid (a walking stick). Therefore, the 10-point descriptor 'Can stand and then move using an aid or appliance more than 20 metres but no more than 50 metres' is the most appropriate. The inability to repeat the activity in a timely manner is a key factor in this assessment.

Question 48: Which of the following is considered a 'complex budgeting decision' under the PIP assessment criteria?

Deciding which of two similar grocery items is better value for money.
Calculating the correct change after buying a few items in a shop.
Calculating a household budget to ensure all bills can be paid from monthly income. (Correct answer)
Physically handling cash to pay for a utility bill at a post office.

Correct answer: Calculating a household budget to ensure all bills can be paid from monthly income.

A 'complex budgeting decision' involves calculating household and personal budgets, managing and paying bills, and planning future purchases. Calculating a household budget fits this definition. Calculating change is a 'simple budgeting decision'. The physical act of handling money and deciding on value are not the primary considerations for this activity, which focuses on the cognitive ability to manage finances.

Question 49: Which PIP component, at the enhanced rate, automatically qualifies a claimant for the Motability scheme?

Enhanced rate Mobility component (Correct answer)
Standard rate Mobility component
Enhanced rate Daily Living component
Standard rate Daily Living component

Correct answer: Enhanced rate Mobility component

The enhanced rate of the PIP Mobility component is required to access the Motability scheme, which allows claimants to lease a car, scooter, or powered wheelchair.

Question 50: What is the risk of submitting too little supporting evidence with a PIP claim?

The claim will be automatically rejected without review
The decision may be based solely on the assessment report, which could underestimate your needs (Correct answer)
DWP will request evidence on your behalf automatically
The claimant loses the right to appeal

Correct answer: The decision may be based solely on the assessment report, which could underestimate your needs

Without sufficient supporting evidence, assessors rely more heavily on the assessment interview, which may not fully capture your daily difficulties.

Question 51: Which descriptor best applies to someone who cannot wash or bathe at all without the physical assistance of another person?

Needs prompting to wash or bathe
Needs assistance to wash and bathe (Correct answer)
Needs assistance to wash their hair only
Can wash and bathe unaided

Correct answer: Needs assistance to wash and bathe

A claimant who cannot wash or bathe without the physical assistance of another person meets the descriptor for needing assistance to wash and bathe.

Question 52: Which of the following conditions would most likely affect the 'dressing and undressing' Daily Living activity under PIP?

Severe arthritis in the hands and wrists (Correct answer)
Diabetes with well-controlled blood sugar
A hearing impairment
Severe depression only

Correct answer: Severe arthritis in the hands and wrists

Severe arthritis in the hands and wrists directly impacts the physical ability to fasten buttons, zip clothing, or handle garments, making dressing and undressing difficult.

Question 53: Who is responsible for deciding whether a PIP Special Rules claim is approved after receiving the SR1 form?

An independent tribunal
The claimant's GP
The claimant's hospital consultant
A DWP decision maker (Correct answer)

Correct answer: A DWP decision maker

A DWP decision maker reviews the SR1 form and other available evidence to approve or refuse the Special Rules claim.
