Hi and welcome
I'm not 100% certain but others have said that they have recovered debt from PIP back pay
Hopefully other members will be able to advise -
I assume you mean you have moved from DLA to PIP ? If you have backpay due and also have outstanding debts then yes they will take money to repay the outstanding debt.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

I suppose whatever the technicalities are it's better to clear the debt whilst you have the opportunity, as opposed to making weekly payments over potentially a long period?2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

Username_removed said:Depends on the debt. People tend to assume all overpayments are recoverable and that's culturally encouraged by DWP. It is also untrue in a significant number of cases so my starting point would never be to ask whether or not it should be recovered from a specific benefit but whether or not recovery ought to be challenged in the first place.
