Hello Kazzy,

though only a personal opinion, I think "standard" in terms of PIP (and ESA), is currently a subjective term. There are ongoing political and administrative changes within the benefits system.

The important things to look at here are;-

Do you have a decision letter which clearly states the dates for which you qualify for PIP and the amount you will receive?

Is your benefit being paid on time, the correct amount and into the correct account?

As there was a delay, due to your successful appeals, has the amount you receive been back dated to the original date of your claim?

have you received any back dated pay?

In terms of continued support I suggest you remain with the CAB as we are not equipped to deal with detail on this site, You are talking about the details of letters and no advisor can proceed sight unseen of documents. This does not mean you can't come here for more generalist guidance in the future.

However my experience suggests that if they are apologising, you have been doing things correctly.

Many thanks for your response.

Well I found out on Saturday they are STOPPING MY PIP from 7/1/2016!a

Yes I do have a copy of the confirmation letter from the dated 10 April 2015 telling me
the award was 10 April 2015 to August 2016

Yes I also received back payment!as

Yes I am sticking with the CAB, I have been for he last 26 months.
I think it has something to do with not being awarded any points at my WCA.

So I went from 12 points and now they tell me 2.
Is the confirmation of award worth the value of the paper it is printed on??

They they I'm going to sit back, tough I am going to fight.
Great site and so glad I joined.
Your time is really appreciated.

It sounds as if you have been re-assessed a year in advance of your PIP award ending, this appears to be standard.

As it would have resulted in a new Decision on your claim, you have full appeal rights to challenge it.

Have a look at the PIP Appeal guides and related documents on the following link

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/pip

It's not clear from your join date whether you were able to use our PIP Claim guides to complete your latest PIP2 form, it would be worth your going through this with the assessment report to make sure that you have satisfied all of the requirements to score points.
