Currently on DLA and submitted a claim for pip in June due to new conditions. Have recently been awarded pip but confused about first payment date: Date of decision 9/10/23 First payment of pip 1/12/23 for period 9/11 to 30/11 then every four weeks after that. From what I have read on here and other advice sites I thought I would receive one last payment of DLA after pip decision then first pip payment 4 weeks after that? Received a DLA payment today 19/10 so shouldn’t first pip payment be 14/11? Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy to have had a successful outcome but just want to check if there’s an error or not 🙂
Your DLA will remain in payment for four weeks after the date of the PIP Decision after which this will be paid four-weekly in arrears.
They usually try to line up the PIP Decision with your DLA payment dates but sometimes don't so it is possible that a partial DLA payment is still to be paid.
