Returned Motability car early but PIP payments reflect lower mobility rate

PotionsQueen

I returned my Motability car last month for several reasons and today I received my monthly PIP but when I calculated the amount; it was enhanced daily living plus standard mobility instead of enhanced mobility.

To complicate matters, I got contacted recently about my PIP review and how someone will be in touch if I need an assessment. I'm not sure if I now have a lower award and just not received any paperwork or if this is tied in with Motability?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi @PotionsQueen I think this will be an error on the part of the DWP.

Your PIP award amount would not change without the review taking place and a new award being given.

Reviews are currently taking about a year to do, plus they'd have told you if they had finished their review. So I think this is just the DWP making a mistake, so it'd be best to contact them about this.

Hi Albus_Scope,

Thanks for your reply, I think you are right about an error. There must have been a mistake somewhere and when I should have received the enhanced mobility rate (after my Motability lease ended), I have received the standard rate instead.

I will try and contact the DWP and see if they can sort this out.
