Pip review

lecal

Good Morning,  I'm a little confused as I sent my pip review form back in October 2023 last Wednesday I received the text to say dwp had my report from the assessor's. Today I rang the automated line to be told my next payment which is due on the 10th of October had increased to £737 so my award has been increased but I thought pip was paid monthly in arrears so I wouldn't receive the higher payment until next month and the decision was only made in the last couple of days why would my next payment be for the higher amount I haven't received any backpay yet, although I understand that you don't always get backpay on review . Tia for any help.

A nice surprise.
Hope for the rest of us still waiting that a year has passed for you.

With reviews  there seems to be two ways they do it. Date the increase from date of decision or date the increase from date of forms. Most times it's the date of decision, but cases on here have shown it can be the earlier one.

As above.... I think I'd wait for the decision letter to see how the dates and payments are working. I would strongly recommend you call DWP PIP at some point and ask for copy of the assessor's report for your reference and possible future use/understanding.
