Sorry PiP again...

Anyone waiting for a decision for their PiP claim, have you had your DLA payments suspended awaiting decision or have they carried on paying you. Only I have had my DLA payment as normal. Hope this was a good sign......

Sorry for driving everyone mad, Just worried. :)

Try not to worry Irain. Your dla is paid in arrears anyway. If you can't wait , try ringing them for their decision ☺ x

I believe so Jimsalisbury12345, but I'm trying to stay positive until I hear from them and work through any options if it doesn't go in my favour. I don't get any other benefits or help with rent my husband pays our mortgage, I have trouble walking and use a crutch I can't walk far and have used a mobility car for several years this is what I am afraid of losing, as I can't replace it. Worrying time under the tories how many times I have heard that recently lol.... i hate politics

Thank you so much TheAuthor, I just need to learn to have a little patience, as I have to wait another 6 weeks before I hear. Just hoping I keep my mobility car so I am able to get out and about. Anyway, that's enough of me moaning I'm grateful for your reply, take care :)

They will continue paying your DLA until they have made a decision on PIP, at which point you will receive the new payment, it usually starts the following month. My original DLA was more than PIP, so it was in my interest for them to delay their PIP decision! I've lost a third of what I was getting before on DLA :-( but depending on your circumstances, you might get more of course. Bonnie x

Bonniebluebire, I try to keep up beat and hopeful, yet everyone has their own issues with pip's and so far it has all been doom and gloom, I really am worried, I just want to know one way or the other really.

Thanks for your support. :)
