Tribunal Win - Disability COL Payment Q... was created by Steven
Hello,
I'm new to the site - this is my first post.
I had my PIP stopped in early March 2023 and the reconsideration was denied. I made the decision to appeal at tribunal but in the interim, I began a new claim which was eventually awarded at a higher rate (this stared in June 2023).
I did not get the disability cost of living payment of £150 in 2023 as I wasn't receiving PIP on the qualifying date due to them stopping it.
The tribunal has recently taken place and the award was reinstated for the period it was taken off me. I will get this money back dated but I was curious as to whether I'll also receive that cost of living payment too as I was technically entitled to it.
I hope that makes sense.
Apologies if I'm asking something that's been covered previously.
Thanks for any input.

Thank you Gary,
It seems that I need to phone 'that' PIP helpline to discuss the payment.
I will update here in due course - wish me luck!

I didn't get around to ringing the PIP Helpline but I got a call today from PIP saying my back pay would be in my account within 7-10 working days (The tribunal decided in my favour 3 weeks ago today).
On the phone call, I asked about the disability COL payment and he said I am also entitled to this and he would arrange everything on my behalf so this money also gets paid with the back pay which is good news.

Hi Steven
Thank you for the up date, I thought you should have been entitled to COL but it is not to get confirmation.
