Hi @adamwest.
This may answer your Question. The DWP have recently introduced this regarding backpay.
See full information here and in the link supplied at the bottom of this message.
High value payments
Q: What is the definition of “high value”?
A: The Large Payment process applies only to those one-off payments over £2000, with the exception of UC, where it is double the standard payment amount.
Q: My understanding from the meeting (and it would help if the written policy on HVP was publicly available) was that the HVP will apply to almost all PIP claims and many thousands of ‘standard’ UC claims. Is that correct?
A: The Large Payment process will only apply in instances where a one-off payment over £2000 is being issued (with the exception of UC, where it is double the standard payment amount). In these cases, a light-touch check of the customer’s information is undertaken to identify potential vulnerability. If there is no vulnerability identified the payment is issued in the normal manner, with no delay.
Q: Will customers get a clear statement of the full amount they are owed?
A: The normal processes will apply when issuing the payment, i.e. the customer will receive any usual decision notification and other relevant information.
Q: What are the markers, and does the claimant/their representative have the right to know that their claim has them?
A: The Large Payment process does not rely on utilising identifying markers, a light touch holistic check is undertaken to consider potential indicators of vulnerability or risk e.g. history of drink or drug abuse, modern slavery. Any customer can exercise their individual rights under GDPR to request copies of personal information held by DWP. Any markers that may be used within DWP (e.g. PIP Additional Support markers) have not been introduced as part of the Large Payments process.
