Letter in the last 3 months?

This survey is for claimants who have received a LEAP letter in the last three months.  You can read more about LEAP letters here .

The purpose of the LEAP review is to consider whether an individual had been awarded the correct amount of points for the descriptor 'planning and following journeys'. The LEAP review was brought about following a change in the law in August 2018, which affected the way in which individuals were awarded points for this descriptor. If an individual suffers overwhelming psychological distress when trying to plan or follow a journey (either familiar or unfamiliar) they should be awarded points for this descriptor, though that had not been the case prior to August 2018.

Extracts from the survey may be published on our site and shared with legal advisers, so please don’t tell us anything you aren’t happy to share. But your email address this will not be shared in any way.

Question Title

* 4. As above, in August 2018, there was a change in the law which affected the way in which individuals were awarded points for 'planning and following journeys'.
