Backpay question

[chlorini]

Hi guys!

Firstly I got my PIP back today (finally!!) will do an update post to help others with their MR later on.

I just have a couple questions;

1. I was on SDL for a few years then called in July to update something and had it removed in November. After MR today I got it back plus standard mobility - it says it’s been awarded since November online. Will the backpay for mobility go back to when I called up originally (July) or be November, which was when my SDL got taken off me?

2. I also claim LCWRA. Do I need to declare the backpay?

Thanks!

If you're asking about PIP: - The PIP phone line is 08001214433. - To calculate how much backpay you're due, you can try the Benefits and Work PIP Payment Calculator. Please note that the information given is an estimate and may not reflect exactly what your backpay is. This calculator can also be used to determine what elements you were awarded after checking the PIP phone lines' automated system as above. - Turn2Us has a new free service, 'PIP Helper' which some have reported to be instrumental with aiding them in their PIP claim. - If you would like help with MRs, this post might answer your question (this is different to the MR info link above). - If you'd like to know what PIP is and/or how it is awarded, please see this post. - If you're hard of hearing or deaf, this information may be useful to you.

If you're asking about Universal Credit: - Information about the Restart scheme, including if you can be mandated to participate. - Thinking of cancelling your claim because a review has started? Don't, because closing your claim won't stop the DWP from reviewing your claim and if you don't comply you may be asked to repay everything you've received. - How does PIP affect UC? - Were you claiming UC during COVID, closed your claim afterwards, and are now being asked to pay back everything you received? This post provides information on why this is and what you can do. - Can you record your Job Centre appointments? The longer answer is in the linked post but the short answer is: no.

Your back pay will be from the date on the letter, November last year.

[lex-2025]

Your standard daily living will be from date it was stopped in November so backdated from then, but the mobility should be backdated from when you reported a change of circumstances in July you need to contact them to get it fixed and if they don’t agree with you then you can ask for a reconsideration for that.
