Hi. 

I’ve been awarded back dated PIP, will this cost of living payment be automatically added to my PIP back pay? Or should I follow the instructions s for missing COL payments? 

Also will this effect my UC COL payment due?

Thanks

    For the last £150 CoL payment paid
    from June 2023 you must have been entitled a payment of PIP on 1st April 2023.

    It should automatically be paid. If this was a Tribunal decision you will need to wait for the award to be put into payment before they pay it.

    If will not affect your UC.

    Jumping on this thread if I may, does that mean the COL payment will be lumped in with my back pay ? Or will it be separate.  Thank you
