Tribunal hearing and back date
Looking for experiences from anyone who had a PIP tribunal win after making a second claim while the first appeal was still ongoing.
My situation:
- Original PIP claim made in April 2024.
- Claim refused and MR refused.
- Appealed to tribunal.
- While waiting for the tribunal, I made a second PIP claim in May 2025.
- The second claim was refused and the MR was also refused.
- I've now had my tribunal decision and won.
The tribunal decision states that I am entitled to Standard Daily Living and Standard Mobility from 12/04/2024 until 11/04/2034.
My question is:
Has anyone been in a similar situation where they made a second claim while waiting for a tribunal on the first claim?
If so, did DWP:
- Pay arrears continuously from the original claim date up to the date of implementation?
- Stop the arrears at the date of the second claim?
- Handle it in a different way?
I'd be really interested to hear how it worked out in your case and what happened with the backdating.
Thanks.
