Hi there

I would like to know when receiving a lump sum from PIP, when do we need to report it to DWP? Does it have to be a certain large amount or any lump sum received from PIP?

Many thanks

    Hi @Tinabella - & welcome to the forum. If you mean you've received some back pay for PIP, then it only matters if you're claiming another benefit, & then only if you still have some of it left after a year, as such a 'lump sum' is disregarded for that length of time. Also it would take that, plus any other savings you still had after a year, to be over £6,000 before it would need to be reported.

    If you're just claiming PIP, then it doesn't matter how much savings you have, as it's not a means tested benefit.

    Hi Chiarieds

    Thank you kindly for coming back to me… I am currently receiving UC too plus Work incapability related benefits too, and received the lump sum of PIP, so from what you said, do I still need to report it to DWP?
