PIP

Hi aries,

Unfortunately, it is my understanding that the DWP can review claims (and ultimately stop awards) at any point they see fit (even within award periods).

As such they are within their rights to make the new decision.

HOWEVER if you think they have stopped your benefit and this is not correct, then they are not within their rights to do this. Therefore if you think this you must challenge the decision and must do so promptly.

If you intend to challenge the decision then I recommend you have a look at the Citizens Advice info on challenging decisions https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/employment-and-support-allowance/while-youre-getting-esa/challenging-an-esa-decision/

and please get back in touch if you need any further advice.

Kind regards,

Mary
