DWP Performance Measurement Team, phone appointment. was created by cyrildoherty
Hi, I am a Carer for my partner she has severe mental health problems, we claim ESA, Housing Benefit and she was awarded PIP
at the highest rate, she received a letter the other day from the dwp Performance Measurement Team, it said that she was picked at random to do a Telephone Review which will be next week it stated that she needs to have Bank Statements and our Original
Tenancy Agreement when they phone, what I'm very worried about is during covid-19 restrictions we could not go out, during
this time we saved a sum of her PIP money, and a sum of money which her Mum gave her back in 2019 which was specifically
for a planned whole family gathering holiday in 2020, which we obviously could not go on, due to the covid-19 pandemic,
The sum of money I've referred to is well, well below the lower capital limit of £6,000 in savings.
What we are very worried about is, could we be penalized for having saved some of her money.
If anyone has had experience with this Performance Measurement Team phone review, please could you post your experience ?

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Hi cyrildoherty
The number is well below the savings cap - so neither of you have anything to worry about.
Hopefully, someone will be able to tell you about their experience.
