Hello.
I sent my PIP award review form back over a month ago and was paid my last payment on 30 Aug however my next payment due today is not in my account.
Do they stop payment whilst this award review is being reviewed?
I think this is so unfair I am so ill and worry about paying my bills which were due to go out today so now I am in debt ,any advice?

    Well if you read this it says that they do pay you until you had assessment then based on if changes or not.
    It also says that you have a month to reply from form being sent to you.
    Which makes me think covid is backlogged post so they may not have had your form so stopped money 
    So give them a ring let them know you have sent it and they may be able to keep paying as that's what they said they will do

    Hi 

    Sorry this doesn't make sense you said your last payment in 30th August was fine ? It's only 27th Aug now 

    You continue to be paid until a new decision is made as long as your current award hasn't ended 

    After decision is made it depends on that as to whether your payments change 

    I would check when your current award is due to end 

    Any queries contact the helpline

    HI,

    I'm sure you mean your last payment was 30th July, not 30th August.

    If you still have an award in place then you'll need to ring them to ask why you haven't received payment. Unless, you've had your assessment and they've now made a decision, then your new award may have changed.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
