pip call - Entitled to backpay?

Holsten1000 · November 11

hi i had a phonecall from dwp as i put a mandatory reconsideration in as i was only awarded 6 points on dl and 4 points on mobility, this was a review of my pip where i had previously had standard dl and enhanced mobility. i have been waiting roughly 12 weeks and received a letter stating they now have enough medical evidence to go ahead and make a decision, i got a call yesterday and the lasy said to have have been in prison or had any hospital stays then she asked me my bank details and what was the last four digits of my bank account. she then said they are processing my claim so i asked when i expect to hear from them and she said between 1 and five days. can anyone tell me if this is usual practice

Yes this is standard practice, but it is not indicative of any particular outcome.

in regards to my previous post about my pip call it looks like they have put an award back on place as I called the pip enquiry line and looks like they have paid me standard rate on both, I was on high mobility before so I don't know what to do because if I appeal I'm sitting for ages woth not much income also if they have reinstated my awards all being mobility is lower should I not be receiving back pay from when they stopped my payments 26th august 2025 wax the last time I was paid, hope someone can help

In your case, I think you will get the back pay as you put in a Mandatory Reconsideration, the DWP have reviewed your claim and changed their minds, so yes, you should get back pay to when they stopped your award.

In addition, the questions you were asked prior are asked usually when an award is forthcoming.
