💡 Attention, folks over State Pension age! If you’ve been receiving the standard rate of the mobility component under the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) scheme, you might be missing out on extra cash! 🤑
Following a recent legal amendment, some older PIP claimants could be eligible for backdated enhanced mobility payments. A tribunal ruling from 2020 uncovered a loophole that affects those whose claims were reviewed between April 8, 2013, and November 20, 2020. If you fit these criteria, it’s time to revisit your PIP claim.
Here’s the deal:
🔍 You might qualify if:
– You had your claim reviewed in the specified date range.
– You were above State Pension age at the time.
– You received the standard rate mobility award.
– You didn’t report any change in your mobility needs at the time.
– Your decision letter said you couldn’t get more due to your age.
The enhanced mobility rate is currently £77.05 per week, which could boost your four-week pay period by £308.20! Plus, receiving the enhanced rate could open doors like joining the Motability Scheme to help you get around!
