PIP: Payments may be reduced - how circumstances can affect the benefit from the DWP
PIP is administered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), responsible for providing support to those who need it most. The payment is tax-free, and can be received by people whether they are in work or not. In addition, the sum a person ultimately receives will be based on how their condition affects them, rather than the condition itself.
However, for those whom PIP is a particularly important payment, it is vital to make note of the instances where the sum could be reduced.
This will allow claimants to be more likely to avoid these occurrences, and secure the sum they receive to help them with their condition.
Firstly, Britons may have their payment reduced, or even stopped through a review of their claim.
The DWP is able to review a claim for PIP at any point, but will contact claimants if this is to happen.
