	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2018 answer text <p>Where there has been a reported change in Paying Parents income which exceeds the 25% tolerance, the first step we would take is to obtain evidence to verify the income. Dependant on how the change is reported, this could be via the employer, receiving parent, HMRC or the Paying Parent. Where an income change is proven, the next step would be to complete a reassessment/supersession and pursue any arrears payments with the Paying Parent. All steps /actions will be specific to the detail of the case. Ultimately where there is evidence of criminal activity CMG can pursue a criminal prosecution through the CPS.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 21/11/2018 15:44:38 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is intended to act as a contribution towards the <em>extra</em> costs that arise as a result of a long-term health condition or disability. There are nine possible award outcomes and, where applicable, claimants continue to receive their award during the appeal process. Whilst it is acknowledged that waiting for an appeal to be heard can be stressful, equally it would be wrong to pay the benefit at a rate other than that which has already been determined within the law.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 22/11/2018 16:07:41 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
