DLA > PIP - Is there a time limitation on Appeals ? was created by Sum

Hiya ,

I'm helping a relative with his PIP review. While trying to gather info on his claim i learned his current award is Enh Mobility, which is a blessing.

However, my understanding is that he was on DLA from a child, due to surgical brain injury, causing drug resistant epilepsy. As an adult he has MH issues, failed so many times to get any effective support. i'm not sure he has a formal MH diagnosis. Recent received a ASD diagnosis.

My question is can i challenge his original PIP award if over 1 year old , esp if he was on higher DLA and failed to comprehend the transition process and didnt have support at the time ?

fingers crossed on this

TIA

Hi Sum

There is a limit on appeals. You have thirteen months to put in a late appeal - and you have to say why one was not put in earlier. The DWP can turn down late appeals - they are at their discretion.

Outside of the 13 months, there is nothing you can do.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
