Ending the client’s Personal Independence Payment award

When a case completes the transfer process, the client’s entitlement to Personal Independence Payment will usually cease on the day that their entitlement to Adult Disability Payment begins  (Adult Disability Payment regs, Sch 2, Part 3, Para 10(a)). However, where the client’s Adult Disability Payment award is backdated because they meet the special rules for terminal illness, ), the client’s entitlement to Personal Independence Payment ceases on the day the client’s Adult Disability Payment would have begun had the award not been backdated (Adult Disability Payment regs, Sch 2, Part 3, Para 10(b)). Additionally, if the client was paid it one week in advance and 3 weekly in arrears, their entitlement to Personal Independence Payment will end on the date one week after the date their entitlement to Adult Disability Payment begins (Adult Disability Payment regs Sch2, Part 3, Para 10(c)).
