transferring from DLA to PIP lose out money wise! was created by teabag
Hi just an update would seem i'm going to lose out to the tune of more than £450 because I was getting DLA when decision for PIP made.
Apparently if your on DLA when decision on PIP is made your paid 4weeks DLA from the PIP decision then have to wait another 4 weeks to get a payment of PIP. Also if your entitled to severe disability premium on top of your Income Related ESA Support Group money that is paid 4 weeks from PIP decision.
Yet if you claim PIP and arn't transferring over from DLA you get paid 4 weeks from the PIP decision.
Its really unfair and i would say discriminating.

I think you have misunderstood how it works.
PIP like DLA is paid 4 weekly in arrears so the 4 week gap between your last DLA payment and the first PIP payment is no different from what it would have been had you continued to receive DLA.
As far as I can see the situation is the same with any SDP payment.
If I have missed something then please reply to this post and we try and address your concern.
