PIP new claim - refused due to LLR ending in the future
Hi all,
This is a new one to me so interested if anyone has come across a similar scenario already?
PIP awarded several years ago. End date coincides with date that leave to remain ends (15 June 2024).
PIP write to client approx. 6 months before this date and invite a new claim.
Client attempts to do this, phone call proceeds as normal. Client then receives a letter that apologises that they had told her this and further states:
“Your leave to remain ends on 15 June 2024. | am writing to you to let you know that we cannot send out the PIP2 form until we have proof that your leave to remain has been extended past the 15 June 2024 or official confirmation from the Home Office that they have received an application from you to request an extension for your leave to remain in the United Kingdom past the 15 June 2024”
Obviously it is in client’s best interest for the application for leave to be extended regardless but is the refusal of PIP to accept the claim correct when client does have LTR as things stand?
Also, on a practical note, would there be any benefit for client to ask for existing award to be superseded (rather than making a new claim) once application for leave to be extended has been made?
