    hi and welcome to the forum , that sounds really frustrating — you’re not alone, and it’s great that you’re reaching out.

    PIP isn’t means-tested, so they can’t take money directly from your PIP. But if you’re getting another benefit like Universal Credit or ESA, they might be taking money from that to pay off a debt — like an old overpayment or advance loan.


    Here’s what you can do:

    ✅ Check your payment statement (especially if you’re on UC) — it’ll show any deductions and what they’re for.

    ✅ Or go to this page and log in to check what you owe: https://gov.uk/manage-benefit-debt

    ✅ You can also call DWP Debt Management on 0800 916 0647 and ask for a breakdown of the £100/month deduction.

    ✅ If it’s too much, you can ask them to lower the repayment amount because of hardship.

    I hope you get this sorted just to let you if you want a bit of distraction visit the coffee lounge or if it's fun you are after I would recommend the games den.
