PIP extra payment

[Rachel43]

struggling to get through to PIP but I’ve had an extra payment go in my account 2 weeks after my payment date. No letter. Was assessed a year ago so not that. Anyone else had this happen?

[OSTEOARTHRITISRA]

Hopefully good news I'm a carer ,and the person we care for has had this a few times

Could be anything though

Some are

Your assessment had a change

Or if your on universal or esa your entitled to more money with being on pip

That's just a few

Can take a while to come through

You usually get the letter upto 4 weeks after payment

If any of above you maybe no if it's a decent amount

The person we care for was 2 big amounts just appeared in bank account

I’m not on universal or esa. My assessment was a year ago & I was moved from enhanced to standard for mobility. not a big amount. So confused.

[OSTEOARTHRITISRA in reply to Rachel43]

Yeh is confusing, did you do mr or appeal Is confusing

Without the amount

Was it a large payment

[Rachel43 in reply to OSTEOARTHRITISRA]

£400. Didn’t appeal or anything as was in a bad place with my mental health x

You should have a mandatory appeal. You need to ask for one. They normally agree with the assessors descion wich is a joke. It was a nurse that assessed me not a doctor and I was under two consultants and got 2 points. Went to a tribunal but it was stopped before it went to court and I got full mobility and daily living. I was crying at times as they make it as horrible as possible. All I can say is persevere. I got a ten year PIP award. The assessors are the problem. Have someone witness what they ask. He was putting words in my mouth. Good luck.

You can’t do mr a year after the award though.

[Staffi99 in reply to KittyJ]

If you're condition gets worse you can call them and report it to them? I can't advise from there as I haven't been in that position. Good luck though x

[KittyJ in reply to Staffi99]

Yes but you were talking about appealing ☺️

[Staffi99 in reply to KittyJ]

Sorry if I waisted you're time

[OSTEOARTHRITISRA]

Hopefully get a letter soon ,maybe money that was due ,or fingers crossed moneys went up

My son has PIP. He has had cost of living payments periodically. Could it be that? You usually get a text or letter about it though

I would write a letter. I have done this in the past when can't get through on the phone. It could be a mistake. A friend had this happen recently. Make sure to include your National Insurance number, name and address. Keep a copy of it, so that you know what you said.
