Hi
Received letter on Monday 14th, yesterday stating I'd received enhanced On both parts of pip.
I then received a second letter on the same day with a pip payment award review form enclosed.
The award is from August 2021, although I only sent previous review from in the September, the following month.
So I've had pip enhanced since August 2021 and I only found out yesterday.
This can't be right, can it?
Should I get back pay?
Should I complete the form with new letter from my specialist nurse or not?

I see from previous threads that this was a review for an existing PIP award. Under normal circumstances if it's a review started by DWP then they don't usually owe any money if your new award is higher than the previous one.However, due to the backlogs for reviews some people (not everyone) have received some money owed to them if their new award is higher.For the review form that you received in the post, that could be an error. How long is your new award for? because it seems like there could be an error somewhere with the dates on your new award.0

I've received back pay today, just discovered. Sorry for the bother.

That's good news. What about the review form you received. How long is the award length for your new award?

That's very odd. I'd advise you to ring PIP to ask because with such a short award it could be an error. They did exactly the same with my daughters review a few years ago.

May I ask what they advised you when you called them please?
Also, had I known sooner I could have had a mobility vehicle. Obviously this isn't possible now.0 -
There was an error in the decision letter for my daughter at the time. They totally agreed with me when i pointed it out to them. They they sent me the correct decision letter with the correct dates on them.I'd advise you to ring them to point it out to them.The reason you received a review form as well is because the computer most likely printed it out at the same time as the decision letter. It doesn't sound right to me at all.Before the decision was made on this claim when was your previous award due to end? was it October 2023 by any chance? If so then there's your answer, it's an error.0

That's even better news!! did you ask them to send you another decision letter to confirm the length of the award? and also asked them to cancel the review form that you received?

Yes three times in fact. I was told to ignore the claim form a couple of times yes.
Thank you Poppy, you always seem to be there when I need confirmations, help and assistance. Thank you soo much and all that contribute.0 -
That's great! You're very welcome. Always happy to help when i can. Glad you've now put your mind and rest, you can now relax a little more at least. Treat yourself with the money you were owed!
