Ending a suspension
When a suspension is ended, the individual will immediately receive the payments which were previously not paid to them because of the suspension. They must have met the conditions of entitlement throughout the period of the suspension.
This amount is worked out by looking at the latest determination of entitlement that covers the period when payments were suspended (CDP Regs, reg. 26F, ADP Regs, reg. 43, PADP Regs, reg. 35, Scottish Adult DLA Regs, reg. 38, SCP Regs, reg. 19F).
Example: suspension ends after new appointee identified
Marian is entitled to the enhanced rate of the daily living component of ADP. Marian’s appointee was no longer able to continue to act on their behalf. The case manager could not immediately identify an alternative payment arrangement, so decided to temporarily suspend payments on 24 May. The case manager subsequently identifies a suitable alternative appointee on 16 June. As Marian has met the conditions of entitlement for ADP throughout the period of suspension, Marian should receive the arrears of payments from 24 May to 16 June
Where an individual has continually failed to provide requested information, the case manager may consider ending entitlement. Guidance on this can be found at ‘Ending entitlement after a further request for information’, within the headed section Suspension for failure to provide information.
