Hi, everyone first time poster, long time lurker.
Interesting topic to discuss today, sorry for the long ish post.
Basically was on PIP from 2021, passed assessment awarded for 2 years, and renewal in January 2024 passed assessment again awarded for 2 years again...fast forward to March 2024, put in Change Of Circumstances due to conditions getting alot worse, whilst waiting for this to be processed I recieved a letter in May, to say my PIP claim was stopped and retrospectively withdrawn (they had withdrawn my entitlement from the date of original claim in 2021 prompting letter I owe them 11,000) taking this to MR. In the meantime I did a new claim as my CoC wasn't acknowledged, passed assement and have enough points for Enhanced on Both. Called them to chase it up and was accidentally informed by a somewhat over helpful call handler that my claim "is with a specialist team due to you having a previous disallowed claim".
My question is this, has anyone had this happen before? Have they had a specialist team looking at their claim due to previous disallowance? I was under the assumption that new claims are separate from previous claims, why are a "specialist team" looking at my new claim, I have provided tons of evidence and they have my medical records confirming everything I have previously said, has anyone been in the situation? If so what happened?
Thasks for bearing with me, would appreciate any advice I can get. Thanks!
