Hi I’m just wondering how likely it is my PIP would be reduced or stopped if I go back into work for a couple of days a week. I currently get both higher rates of PIP for mobility and the daily living component on account of my autism and epilepsy - I had to take it to the tribunal to be awarded this. I also receive the LCWRA component of universal credit. I’m already aware LCWRA component of universal credit will stop but the rate of universal credit whilst working part time is practically the same as universal credit LCWRA group. I really need to get back into some form of work to help keep my mind stimulated. I’m just worried my PIP will be stopped. I’ve always struggled to keep a job for long as I’ve had 20 different ones in the space of 10 years. But I think if I took time to find the correct job and limited my hours I could sustain a job. Any advice or people who have done this that also receive pip? Thanks
In addition I was in full time work when I made the pip claim but was refused by dwp - but by the time I had my tribunal hearing I was out of work and they specifically asked me if I was currently in work.
Some people who have been awarded PIP also work. Whether your PIP would stay at the same rate if you get a job, I can't say. It will very much depend on where you have been awarded points and whether that is impacted by your working. You can expect them to review it as a change of circumstances, once you inform them, if you have a job.
