CAMPAIGNER River Axe-the-Tax blasted the “gross injustice” of the “shockingly slow” appeals process today after successfully beating a decision that denied him personal independence payments (PIP).

Mr Axe-the-Tax — who legally changed his name in protest at the bedroom tax — has had his case sent back to the first-tier tribunal (FTT) after an upper tribunal judge agreed the earlier decision contained a “material error of law.”

A decision published last week revealed both the upper tribunal and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) agreed that the FTT’s decision should be set aside.
