My PIP Telephone Assessment Today

Good morning everyone!
I still await the PIP letter!

Perhaps someone may be in a position to advise with regard to my application for New Style ESA?

I submitted an online application on the morning of Wednesday 22/06/22.

That very same afternoon, DWP contacted HMRC to advise them of an annual ESA Allowance of £5,121!

This impacted on my annual Tax Allowance, resulting in a deduction of £73 per month, commencing 11/07/22.

I received my ESA Allowance letter yesterday. Grand total of £3.48 a week! The letter referenced a cost of living amount too.

Obviously, this award does not correspond with the DWP notification to HMRC of £5,121 a year, or £98 a week!

My Fit Notes have been sent to DWP and my completed Capability for Work form has been sent off too!

What do you think I should do with regard to incorrect notification to HMRC? I am currently being financially penalised incorrectly via tax deduction!

Full NI contributions were made for past two years.

Assuming that I do receive enhanced award for both components of PIP, what impact does this have on New Style ESA?

I live at home with my wife. Is there an ESA premium for a couple?

Apologies, but finding the world of ESA confusing!

Hi everyone,
I have finally received my PIP letter!

Enhanced for both components of PIP!

Review date May 2025.

So, a 7 month journey for my application process finally reaches its conclusion.

I would welcome advice whether or not to request a MR for length of award?

I included medical evidence that referenced how one of my conditions is lifelong, incurable and debilitating.

Or am I merely contributing to even more stress?

One thing that I would like to flag up is the significant inconsistencies with the PIP application process (in my case migration from DLA) with anything from 6 weeks up to 7 months in my case, and length of award.

To end on a positive note, I cannot praise and thank the help, guidance and support that I have received from this Organisation.

I used the PIP guides to submit my PIP application.

Without such help and support, I do not think that I would have received such a positive outcome.

God bless you all!

Thanks Gary,
I will make contact with my local Welfare Rights Organisation.

How can the DWP arrive at a figure of £5,121 per annum, on the same afternoon that I submitted my online application for New Style ESA?

I am now having tax deducted for an allowance that I have yet to receive and will be nowhere near the sum that DWP claim it to be?

Thanks also to LL26 for kind words!
