Leslie Kirkland, who looks after wife Sonya, took the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) to court and won. The couple were stunned in January 2018 when the DWP told them 51-year-old Sonya's Personal Independence Payment (PIP) was being stopped. But Leslie was determined to get justice and after two failed appeals managed to get his wife's PIP reinstated following a hearing at North Staffordshire Justice Centre, reports Stoke-on-Trent Live . There is a mobility component, which relates to travel and transport, and a separate daily living component. Following the court case, a judge ruled Sonya should receive the mobility and daily living component of PIP until January 2023.
