Won my appeal today, stressful but successful!

If your PIP2 form was returned on time then the DWP should not have cancelled your DLA and it should have remained in payment until four weeks after a Decision on your PIP claim was made. Back payments would apply from the day after your DLA was stopped.

Have you chased the DWP about why your DLA was stopped early?

If your form was not returned on time, then your PIP2 should have been treated as a new application for PIP, you would not have received payments while the claim was being processed, but the claim should be classed as starting from the day that the form was received and back payments should be made from that date.

In either case the PIP Award does not appear to cover the correct period based on the information you have provided.

Your first port of call should be the Tribunal Service, however, they are limited by the information that they have received from the DWP, so I would expect you to have to follow it up with them.

As you have been using the CAB I would speak to them about the matter.

Normally a claim would start from the day you contacted the DWP to start it, but because you were receiving DLA at the time this would not apply as you cannot receive DLA and PIP at the same time, so the earliest that your PIP claim could start would be the day after your DLA claim ended.

I'm afraid we don't deal with Tax Credits on the forum, you'll have to contact HMRC about the issue.
