edited April 2023 in PIP, DLA, and AA
Hi,

I tried to ring pip phone line but couldn’t get through to them, I waited almost 45 mins.

so I’m hoping someone will be able to answer my query on here 

I’m aware about the  new rates changing in April however today I checked my bank account and I received £356.39. I should have received £380. So I’m a little concerned about the amount received. 

I have received the letter about the new rates perhaps I’ve misunderstood the letter itself, so can someone please explain to my why my rate of pay is different this month and not accurate ? 

On the letter it states below “The first payment covering the 10 April 2023 could be made up of your new and old amounts.”

could the reason above be a possibility of the  different amount I received this month ? 


Sorry but things like this really confuse me and often make me feel anxious.

    Yes the rates increased from 10th April. However, PIP is paid 4 weeks in arrears which means you won't see the full increase until your next payment. This payment includes a mixture of the old and new rates.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
