One claimant has shared how they received an additional £5,500 from HMRC on top of a £5,000 DWP arrears payment.
Members of a popular online benefits forum continue to report that they have received backdated Personal Independence Payments of between £5,000 and nearly £11,000 following a recent rule change by the Department for Work and Pensions . Some 326,000 PIP cases are due for review after a change to the definition of ‘social support’, which relates to one of the Daily Living questions on the PIP 2 evidence form.
The member previously explained to Benefit and Work how they received a call on March 5 from a DWP decision maker who “ran through a few questions” with them, asking what plans they made when they were going out and who they used as their support when they did. They added: “She told me there and then that she was going to back date my claim to 2016 and increase it from standard to enhanced. I have just had just under £5,000 paid into my account today.

In July 2019, the Supreme Court handed down a judgment following an Upper Tribunal decision which changed the way the DWP considers the definition of ‘social support’ for Daily Living activity number nine. The ‘MM’ judgment concerns the definition of ‘social support’ when engaging with other people face to face and when ‘prompting’ should be considered ‘social support’ in the PIP assessment, and how far in advance social support can be provided.
