Important rules worth noting
People claiming Personal Independence Payments risk payments being paused or stopped altogether if they fail to report changes in circumstances.
How to report a change of circumstances to DWP Contact the PIP enquiry line on 0800 121 4433 to report a change of circumstances - lines are open from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. Phone lines will be closed over the Spring bank holiday weekend, but will be back to normal on Tuesday, May 30. Leaving the country or planning to leave the country for a period of more than four weeks - even if this is a holiday This change may affect the claimant’s entitlement to PIP. The DWP needs to know the date the claimant is leaving the country, how long they are planning to be out of the country, which country they are going to and why they are going abroad.
People who fully self-fund their placement are unaffected by these rules. If a claimant is in a care home at the date of entitlement, the PIP daily living component is not payable until they leave. Imprisonment or claimant held in legal custody This change may affect the amount of PIP that can be paid to the claimant. The DWP needs to know the date the claimant was taken into prison or legal custody and the length of time they are expected to be there, if known.
