What Personal Independence Payment Accessors Don’t Want You To Know
#Waiting for your PIP Tribunal decision? Here’s a secret they don’t tell you — don’t wait, make a new claim now!”
This is an important personal independence payment update for people who have been forced to appeal against their award notice. At the moment the average wait time for a PIP tribunal is one year, so please do watch this video.
“If your health has got worse, or if you’ve had new diagnoses since your original Personal Independence Payment decision, you don’t have to sit around and wait for the Tribunal to finish. Most people don’t realise this, but you can start a new PIP claim while your appeal is still ongoing.” But please visit a free advice service and let them fill it in for you.
“Why is this so clever? Because the Tribunal fight is about your old condition — it aims to get you backdated payments for when you first applied. But the new claim reflects your current health. That means you could get more support right now, not months or years later.”
“And yes — it’s totally legal. The government doesn’t advertise it because they’d rather you waited, but it’s absolutely allowed to run a new claim and appeal at the same time. Think of it as doubling your chances to get the help you need.”
“So if your health has changed, or if you feel stuck waiting for that Tribunal, don’t wait — start a new claim now.
Tag someone who needs to hear this, and follow for more tips on benefits and getting the support you deserve.”
