Pip backdated payment and dept management

sandrah180872

Evening everyone I hope u are all well. I would like some help on bk dated payment. I was awarded pip from 28th Jan, I received a phone call over 3 weeks ago saying I was awarded pip and that they owed me £700 and odd pounds and to keep an eye on my bank account for it going in but after 2 wks of mot receiving any money or an award letter I rang them up 2 be told that my bk dated payment has bn passed over to debt management as I owe for overpayment in tax credits, but this is paid bk to dwp from my universal credit every month for over last 6 yrs. I've rang dept management and they have not received the back payment as yet and now pip said it is with dwp management being checked again. I don't understand any of this. Can sme one help please. Thank you

Yes, they can take any money they owe you to pay off any money you owe them. There's no timescales how long this may take. Will this money pay off the debt completely? If so then it's not such a bad thing, at least this way you will no longer have your UC payments reduced to pay it back.

No it wouldn't be enough to pay off the payment owed. Its has been being deducted from my uc every month for the last 7 yr. I still owe £6000. But y has it gone to dwp management to be check again I don't understand it at all.

The fact you owe over £6000 is why they have gone to Debt Management, it's irrelevant that you are already paying deductions, any back payment of PIP can be used to pay a debt even if it's not the full amount. Debt has been passed over for a lot less.

We can't answer that question unfortunately.
