Hi everyone, I got a text today to say a decision had been made on my PIP so called and the automated response and it the amount has gone up. I wasn’t actually due a review until 2026 but my circumstances have worsened so I therefore sent new information & form. I actually submitted the form back in January & am curious as to whether I would receive a back payment due to the fact that my PIP was not up for review?

Thanks!

    Hi @megmog00 - when you put in for a 'Change of circumstances' as you've done, then your award may stay the same or be lowered or increased. I'm afraid the automated phone line we've seen isn't always accurate, so I wouldn't rely upon it. If you can instead get through to a call handler they should be able to tell you the decision.
