The DWP is set to review 326,000 PIP cases following a change in what 'social support' means - and some people have already received backdated payments worth thousands
The Department for Work and Pensions has made a rule change that could mean people on Personal Independence Payments may receive back payments of up to £11,000.
The DWP is set to review 326,000 PIP cases following a change in what 'social support' means. This term is used in one of the Daily Living questions on the PIP 2 evidence form. They also wrote: "Thank you to this group and everyone in it, you'll never know how much you've helped flip my whole life around."
In July 2019, the Supreme Court made a decision that changed how the Department for Work and Pensions considers 'social support' for Daily Living activity number nine. This decision, known as the 'MM' judgment, is about what 'social support' means when talking to other people face to face and when 'prompting' should be seen as 'social support' in the Personal Independence Payment assessment.
