    Hi,

    I'm afraid the only way to know an answer to your question is to ring DWP and ask why. We wouldn't be able to tell you why they've taken money from your payments.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hell hello, you will have to do what our good and great lady said, phone DWP who pay you the money and enquire why the deductions and still paying the same award amount monies.

    That will be correct. When transferring from DLA to PIP because of the way it's worked out your first PIP payment is 3 weeks after your last DLA payment. Your next PIP payment will be for the correct amount.
