Hi everyone so after 27 weeks (first time ive ever tried to claim pip) i have finally been awarded pip standard rate which im happy with i cant deal with the stress of doing a MR.
Dwp say i owe them 12000 in tax credits (not true but i cant prove it as from over 10 yrs ago) but pip paid my back pay into my bank so dwp didnt take it, thought this might give a little hope to people who owe dwp and are waiting to hear from pip and their back payments and for those claiming for the first time, its stressful but not every pip story is bad news. Good luck

Great news glad they didn't stop the back pay
I'm no money expert but i thought any debt that hasn't been attempted to be recovered after 6 years has to be written off but I may be wrong0 -
I wish dwp says i owe 12,695 and i pay out of my uc each month, i actually received a letter a few weeks ago saying they will keep taking payments. I have no choice but to pay it as i cant prove i dont owe it.0

As at December 2020 10% of UC claimants were having deductions from their awards to pay back Tax Credits.

@clarefar Thanks for the update and I'm glad to hear the money was transferred to your bank.
The statistic quoted by @calcotti is eye-opening stuff and it's incredibly disheartening to think how many must be struggling as a result of withheld underpayments I found Mike's link v informative so do try to give that a read when you have time.
