The DWP is checking more than 320,000 existing PIP claims after a Daily Living assessment rule change.
Thousands of people in receipt of Personal Independence Payments may be due arrears from as far back as April 2016, following a recent change to the Daily Living component assessment rules around the definition of ‘social support’. The Department of Work and Pensions is urging around 284,000 existing claimants to contact them, if they think they may have been affected.
However, in a statement to Parliament, Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work, Tom Pursglove MP, explained that due to the “complexity of the exercise we started at a relatively small scale, prioritising terminally ill and recently deceased claimants, testing our processes and communications with claimants, to ensure they are effective before ramping up”.
Top Money Stories Today Mr Prusglove said: “We are monitoring the numbers of, and reasons for, revised awards closely and making regular quality checks to ensure our decision-making is accurate and fair. We have listened to feedback and engaged with disability organisations, to develop our processes and communications, being sensitive to claimants who need help to provide any further information we need to decide if they are affected.
“We will be inviting around 284,000 claimants in this group to contact the department, if they think their claim is affected by this judgment and they were not previously identified as needing help to engage with other people face to face because any help they received was in advance.” People who may have missed out on the Daily Living component element of PIP, or were awarded the standard rate and may be entitled to the enhanced rate include:
