DWP assessment changes for PIP could see people owed up to £12,000

People who claim Personal Independence Payment from the Department for Work and Pensions could be in for nearly £12,000.

One member reportedly received a call from the DWP on March 5. The decision maker on the other line went through some questions with them in relation to their benefit, including who they used for support when going out.The member said: "She told me there and then that she was going to backdate my claim to 2016 and increase it from standard to enhanced. I have just had just under £5,000 paid into my account today.

"It sent him in a whirlwind thinking they were going to stop his entitlement. The lady called as previously stated, spoke about the situation in hand and advised he would be receiving a payment in the coming days for almost £12,000. Who could be due a PIP back payment? In 2019, the Supreme Court issued a decision which changed how the DWP looks at 'social support' for Daily Living. It meant that definition when engaging with other people face to face and 'prompting' should be included in the PIP assessment, as well as how far in advance social support could be provided.
