Changes to PIP law and first tribunal decisions.

Good Morning,

I recently received a letter from the personal Independence payment department, regarding
changes in PIP law and first-tier Tribunal decisions.

Please can you give me some further information in regards to this, I don't know what that means for me, there was a period when my pip got stopped but than restated via a appeal tribunal. I was receiving enhanced PIP than it got stopped after a medical than after appeal the lowest care part, I think 4 points of mobility, I suffer with severe depression and also have mobility problems. I know get enhance pip for care and mobility but there was a time I only got the care component.

My son has mental health problems, and at one point was getting enhanced pip than got lowered to the full care award, he needs support with travelling. He hasn't received one of these letters ?

If a person is entitled to back pay would they do this automatically or do you have to apply to the pip?

Most Kindest Regards,

Bernadette.
