Hi @Lee99 - This only affects some people awarded PIP between 6th April 2016 & 17th September 2020. Only those where any extra points would mean an award would be given, or if it would change an award from the standard, to the enhanced rate, will be contacted. When the DWP will look into this I don't know. Here's a link which summarises this: http://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/images/image/samples/PIP_engage_changes.pdf

I thought this might have effected me but it would still leave me 1 point off enhanced daily living. Besides my PIP ward was given at appeal and they can't overule an appeal decision even if you are eligible.
