One in 100 PIP claimants were overpaid last year, according to the lates DWP figures.
The Department for Work and Pensions pays State Pension and welfare benefits to around 22.7 million people across Great Britain. New figures published in the 2024 Fraud and Error in the Benefit System report, show that the total number of benefit overpayments over the last year was £9.7 billion , an increase on the £8.3bn figure for 2023.
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. Just be aware opening hours may change over the festive fortnight. Privately funded patients are unaffected by these rules and can continue to be paid either component of PIP.
Linked spells in hospital and a care home Spells in hospital are linked if the gap between them is no more than 28 days. The daily living component for spells in a care home is also linked if the gap between them is no more than 28 days. 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.
This change needs to be reported in writing - if the claimant phones to give these details, the DWP will ask for these details to be put in writing. The written notification must contain: If the person acting for the claimant has moved or has different contact details, the DWP just needs the new details.
