how we assess someone's ability to engage with other people face-to-face

kbel88

My mum passed away in January, I was her carer and I received a letter from pip saying they want to review her claim and the change is to do with ‘ how we assess someone's ability to engage with other people face-to-face’  and I could be owed money that she should have got. Has anyone else had this and is it genuine? I have sent the form back but i had to put my bank details and now I’m panicking that It’s a scam.

Sorry for your loss. It is not a scam. The rules for this changed in 2020 i think. They are looking at all decisions made on or after 6th April 2016.

If money is owed, it will be paid to you.

hello hello I just wanted to let you know incase anyone else has this letter, I had a payment from pip this morning for nearly £3000. So they must have owed my mum money.
