Employment Law Cases 2016 Eight Decisions to Look out For

Question: Describe about the Employment law cases 2016 for eight decisions to look out for. Answer: The said case is between the Secretary of Sate and Miss L R Parsons. The case was against the decision, which was made by the Secretary of State on 1st September 2015 regarding the Personal Independence Payment. PIP is a welfare benefit, which is being provided in U K. This is paid only when any person is suffering from any health condition or he is disabling. It is generally paid based on the effects of a condition of a person. It is applicable to people aged between 16 to 64 and to claim PIP one has to go several tests and the test must be passed three months prior of claiming. (DisabilityrightsUK, 2016) In this case Miss Parson was suffering from various diseases due to which she was unable to carry out any daily activities. She had diseases like nystagmus, swelling, arthritis, asthma, hypermobility and anxiety. Due to all these diseases she was unable to perform her daily activities so an appeal was made to the Tribunal for claiming PIP. She had scored 10 points on the basis of the following descriptions: She was unable to take nutrition. For taking nutrition one needs supervision, assistance and to use an aid or appliance. Due to her ill health she was unable to take it. She was almost handicapped so she was unable to prepare her own food. So there should be someone who could cook and serve her food. Without this she wont be able to survive. Needs a person who could help her to bathe and even wash her daily belongings and other household stuffs. She was so ill that she even couldnt dress or undress herself. This shows she was completely dependent upon a person. She was also suffering from an eye disease due to which she was unable to read anything. So for this a person was required who can read out any information for her. Based on these descriptions Miss Parson was given 10 points and case was declared in favor of her. She is now eligible to receive PIP from 30th September 2015 till 29th September 2018, which is three years. (Turn2us.org, 2016) But she was not awarded an award for mobility component from 30th September 2015 since she had scored 0 points in it. This decision was given based on the evidences, which was placed in the Tribunal and based on the medical, and disability expertise. It was clearly seen that Miss Parsons was severely ill due to which her daily activities got effected and hence she was eligible for the PIP which is offered by the government. (Tribunaldecisions, 2016) The Judge named J D Roberts, D Nair and Mrs J Heller decided this case. Miss Parson appealed case on 26th February 2016 and the Tribunal took even the decision on 26th February 2016 in favor of Miss Parson.
