PIP Review and council tax reduction was created by amberkindness
Hello,

I sent in my PIP review almost two months ago and have heard nothing from DWP. Is this normal practice or do they just tale a while to reply.

Is the review to establish any changes or not and to decide upon another length on award?

Before I received my PIP I had to pay the full amount of council tax excluding the single person discount as I am working part time. Then the council gave me a refund of al the council tax I had paid once I notified them of my PIP award.

Now I seem to be paying the full amount of council tax with the 25% discount as before. Do people on PIP not have to just pay water and sewerage rates?

Thank you in advance.

Kind Regards

Contact the Assessment Provider for your postcode for an update, we have seen a slow down in the process due to Summer holidays.

The review will hopefully result in a new award.

Council Tax reduction can be dependant on the level of PIP that a claimant is receiving but is also dependant on the Local Authority, some offer significant discount others not.

Check with local Welfare advice that you are receiving the right discount.
