Hi all. So after a very long 28 weeks waiting for my son's decision he has been awarded enhanced rate for both his award notice says he wont get his first payment until 22nd july. He was on dla and has transferred to pip. They say that the first payment is what they owe him but what about this month's dla will that not be played to him as iv also noticed they would owe him an extra week. Any help would be greatful

You will receive 1 final payment for DLA and then it will stop. Then PIP will start with first payment on the date stated. It will then continue to be paid 4 weekly.0

28 weeks seems ages for decision that's more than 6 months!! Glad the wait is over and you can relax0

Ok will this be 28 days after the decision or the following week when his dla claim ends. It's so confusing @poppy1234560

It will depend on when his last DLA payment was. You can also ring DLA and they will tell you when his final payment is and how much it will be.

Based on that then i would expect the DLA payment to be about 21st June.

Hi @carcari
Unfortunately, I think the DWP is correct. I'm assuming that the PIP decision date is shortly after your son's DLA payment date ie 24 May 2022. If this the case your son's entitlement to DLA ends 4 weeks after the next DLA pay day. The next ( and final ) DLA pay day is 21 June 2022, as @poppy123456 has said, and the DLA will stop on 21 July 2022 with PIP starting on 22 July 2022. Unfortunately this is the case even though the PIP award has resulted in an increase in your son's entitlement.

Hi @poppy123456
I referred to this but I agree it seems very unfair
Date of award – If you get a decision to award PIP, entitlement to DLA ends four weeks after the next DLA pay day and the PIP award will begin on the following day. So if the decision is just after your pay day, the PIP award may not start for almost eight weeks. Unfortunately, this will be the case even if the PIP award has resulted in an increase in your entitlement (unless you asked for your claim to be re-assessed under the special rules for terminal illness

Well I'm sorry but your all wrong as his award letter states that his pip will start on 29th June his dla ends on the 28th june. His original payday for pip should be the 21st june.0

Nor sure what you mean by this:carcari said:His original payday for pip should be the 21st june.

No is payday for PIP shouldn’t be 21st June because the DLA doesn’t end until 28th June.First payment for PIP being 22nd July is correct. This is not what they owe him because no money is owed. This will be payment from 29th June to 22 July, which will be for 3 weeks money, not the full 4 weeks. Future payments will be for the full 4 weeks.
The final payment of DLA should be 21st June.1 -
Hi
Yes the date of the PIP award dovetails with the final payment date of the DLA - but payment ie the actual award of PIP isn't until 22 July. I think we're all agreed.0 -
Sorry I see my post has been overtaken by the OP's comments0

Thank you @poppy123456 that sounds about right to me his first pip payments is the 3 weeks they owe as it is less then his award. I will call them on monday to find out. If that missing week will be paid to him on the 21 june or the week after thanks again for the help0

It would be DLA you need to ring, not PIP. Something tells me that DLA is paid 3 weeks in arrears and 1 week in advance. PIP is paid 4 weeks in arrears. So the payment from DLA on 21st June will be the last payment, which should be his usual amount. This would mean there's no missing week because of the 1 week in advance.
