The department has confirmed that thousands of older claimants were wrongly denied the ability to claim an enhanced premium, now worth £75.75 a week.
PIP is made up of two parts and whether you get one or both of these depends on how severely your condition affects you. While on the daily living part of PIP, the weekly rate is either £72.65 or £105.55 - and you could get both elements, so up to £184.30 in total.
If you are getting PIP now, the DWP has said that it will not reduce your award because of this change.If you've been affected by the issue outlined above, you should contact the PIP department and say that you are enquiring about the "Regulation 27 administrative exercise review".
