in PIP, DLA, and AA
Hi 
I applied for PIP twice and was turned down in 2018 and 2020 applied again in 2022 with the same ailments and disabilities and was successful. I now have been getting notifications with details to contact DWP as I may be eligible to have this looked at and changed? I am very wary of just taking things at face value with the amount of scams about. could this be genuine? Thanks in advance for reading x

    It’s unlikely to be a scam. To find out for sure then you will need to contact PIP and ask them. If they have contacted you then there should be details on the system.

    Ok thanks, I was wondering if anyone knew if this would be a possibility? as they would in effect be overturning a previous no decision. Thanks for answering x

    Yes they can supersede a previous decision.
