    Aren't they income related, so will depend on how much you earn?

    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

  • I thought it was just a flat rate for the disability element?

    It's up to as it says in the link i posted. Your entitlement to WTC will depend on your earnings in the previous tax year.

  • I rang on Friday to ask for it to be backdated to the date that PIP was awarded at tribunal, June 2022.
    The advisor passed it to a different team. 
    There is now a noticeable increase on the award , which I can see on the HMRC app. But it is only increasing from June this year. Hopefully it will get sorted next week.
