I think my PIP backpay is too low.

Aella

I applied for a higher rate of PIP in February, had the reassessment in around June/July, at which they awarded me zero points and stopped my PIP altogether.  I appealed and won, and in November got a letter saying that I was getting the highest amount of PIP.  I got about £2326 backpay, but it seems too low.  I am no mathematician, and do please point out if I've made a glaring error.

So, from February, while waiting for my assessment, my PIP payments carried on being paid at £60 a week.  The letter says I should have been getting a total of £152 a week.  So minus the £60 a week I was getting, the backpay from February to July should be 
152 - 60 = 92 a week
= 368 a month
= 1840 for 5 months (up to and including July)

My last PIP payment before it was stopped was July, so I should get backpay for the full amount for Aug, Sept and Oct:
152 x 12 weeks = 1824

1840 + 1824 = 3664

I only got £2326 backpay.  it seems to me they should have given me another £1338.  Am I wrong?

Good afternoon @Aella I've tagged your post as unanswered so hopefully someone can help you out!

I would, but I'll need some serious brain food over lunch, if no one has answered you by later this afternoon I'll have another look

If you think it's incorrect then the best thing you can do is ring them to ask.

Hi @Aella please accept my apologies for not getting back to you on this at the time. How are you getting on?

Did you ever ring them to check your calculations in the end?
