Roman Hawksby (by his appointee, Rebecca Hawksby) v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (DLA): [2026] UKUT 326 (AAC)
Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision of Judge Church on 20 August 2026.
Read the full decision in .
Judicial Summary
This appeal is mainly about whether evidence requires corroboration if it is to be accepted. The Upper Tribunal decides that the First-tier Tribunal misdirected itself in law to the effect that the Appointee’s evidence about her son’s needs could not be given weight unless it was corroborated by other evidence. There is no such requirement for corroboration.
Appeal allowed and remitted.
