Issue with pip backpay not disregarded

salem1

thank you for the above information - I will chase them up on Monday.

the decision maker was in northern Ireland - I asked on my journal if this was in Derry or Londonderry! I knew immediately they would lie and find a way of stopping my benefit. It’s like asking a Palestinian to determine if a Jew should get benefits, it’s never going to happen. Hence the remarks about firearms!

I now have a date for the tribunal hearing, of course stressful and worrying, lots of sleepless nights - but hopefully the tribunal will see that transferring pip back pay from a current account to a savings account the amount should still be disregarded.

thought I would give an update to this saga…

On 07/04/25 I had my appeal hearing the decision made by Secretary of State was set aside.

The judge wrote - I was entitled to uc from the 06/10/24 and any decision that flowed from the original removal of my entitlement from that date (eg lcwra) should be undone.

I just want to thank all those who helped me on this forum, especially poppy123456 for sending me actual legislation that enabled me to challenge the DWP.
