PIP stopped

edited November 2022 in PIP, DLA, ADP and AA
I was awarded pip at tribunal (standard care, enhanced mobility) in 2019 covering the period from late 2017-2023, I had my pip renewal forms sent in september, I filled out and sent them back soon after. I had a telephone interview on the 14th of october. I was due PIP today. No pip in my account. I called pip and they said a decision was made on the 2nd of november so they recalled my pip payment as they’ve decided I’m no longer entitled pip. They said if they issued payment there would be a 4 day overpayment and I have to wait for them to receive notification that they have the full amount back and they will issue a same day payment of the outstanding amount owed to me. I know this is a bit of a how long is a piece of string question but if anyone has been in a similar situation can you recall how long this took? I was relying on it to top up the gas and get shopping in. Obviously going forward I will now budget appropriately but this came with no warning as the automated line still stays I was due full payment today and when I phoned last week, it stated the same. 

I will be going through the appeals process again.

    It's not very nice when they just stop payments out the blue. Try keep your head up and fight the decision. Hopefully you'll get what you deserve. Good luck 🤞

    There are no timescales but they won’t re issue the payment until it’s received back to them.

    Thats is awful I have just sent (October) my PIP Award review to them - not heard anything yet ... did the telephone interview give no clue about what they might do ? I hope you get your award back ..

    A bit off topic, but how the OP had an award from Tribunal to last until 2023 and DWP stopped it? How did that happen?

    Because the new decision on the review overruled the Tribunal decision. Any new decision will always overrule your current award, regardless of who made that previous decision.
