Tribunal decision and ongoing PIP

Mijuka

H. i wonder if anybody can advise me on the following, finally I had Tribunal hearing, decision -standard rate until march 2028, 8 points only, but better thann nothing:)

However, in october 2026 i applied for a new PIP jsut in case. it is now in the process

Is it a risks, if new PIP gives me only 4 points, would that decision superceeds the previous PIP? thank you for advice

I believe your tribunal decision will only last until the date you made a new claim for PIP, at which point any new decision will superceed the tribunal/previous PIP.

Hi @Mijuka, if you were concerned that the new PIP claim might not award the same as the tribunal and didn't want to risk going ahead, it might be worth giving DWP a call to discuss and see if your new PIP claim can be withdrawn so that you can continue with your current award until 2028. Totally up to you, but it sounds like you've been through a lot having to go to tribunal. 😊

thank you, Holly. i did phoned them.. How sure it is registered in their system. that i called? yes, it would be risky as i did not get points where i expected, it means DWP will not give points there ( taking into account tribunal decision). and might take away smth . i scored 8 points - standard.

Hi @Mijuka. Were the DWP able to tell you if you could retract your new application? I'm not sure how quickly they are registered onto the system I'm afraid.
