Sounds like a decision's been made on your review, which could be Enhanced daily living. Did you not ask what the decision was when you rang? You should receive the decision letter soon.

Welcome to the community @heidihelsinki

How are you doing today?

Hopefully your decision letter will arrive soon, so that you'll know for sure what you've been awarded. Please do keep us updated on that.

How did you find the telephone assessment?

HayleyRX

Are you getting any back dated pay with your claim been accepted at higher rate? Thanks, I'm on 8 months of waiting on my review and I'm wondering if people get money back dated

heidihelsinki

Thanku,the telephone assessment wasnt too bad,i was so nervous.im nit sure if theyll backdate it but i hope so x

It's normal to be nervous during the assessment @heidihelsinki- you're definitely not the only one to have felt that way!

The Turn2Us website says the following regarding PIP backdated payments:

Your Personal Independence Payment (PIP) will start being paid after you receive your decision letter. Your decision letter tells you whether you qualify for PIP and how much you will get. Your PIP will be backdated to when you first made a PIP claim, so you are likely to get a lump sum back payment.

This lump sum payment can be very large. The DWP might contact you and offer to pay it in installments. This can be helpful if you have difficulty managing money. However, it is your choice whether you want the money as a lump sum or in installments.

PIP is usually paid every four weeks.

I believe this may be different for reviews @hayleyrx.

calcotti

Tori, the bit you quoted is for new claims.

If the review was started by DWP then the new decision will not be backdated. If the review started because the claimant reported a change then the new decision, if it is an increase, should be backdated.

Apologies, I somehow missed that @heidihelsinki's was also a review. Thanks calcotti!

heidihelsinki

Good news. However, your payment that you said here..

heidihelsinki said:

doesn't indicate an award of Enhanced for both parts. This award should be £627.60 every 4 weeks.

HayleyRX

Is December when you first handed review form in? I'm wondering if they backdating you to then?. Some people are getting backdated pay on a review & alot arnt. It doesn't make sense to me

HayleyRX

Obviously I know you would only get back dated pay if your claim award was to go higher.

Backdated money from a review if the award is higher is not something DWP would usually do. Though i agree that quite a few members here have received money owed from a review. The only thing i can think of is that because of the huge backlogs some are being backdated to the date they sent the form back.

heidihelsinki

The automated phone line quoted me wrong amount.i rang it twice to check and it was wrong both times uts now its £627.60 now

HayleyRX

Yeah that's that I'm thinking, I'm just getting confused but I know now that it can be a possibility seeing some readers stories. Thank you

heidihelsinki
