Pip award

twiggy66

Hi 
I've just been awarded pip it was quite quick. I returned my form on 3rd October assessment was 6th December that was for 1hr. They received the report on the 7th and today which is the 22nd of December I received a text saying I've been awarded pip and a letter has been sent out to me. With the postal strike I am not sure when I'm going to receive the letter so I don't know how much it is or what the award is for. My question is how long does it take to go into my bank account please?

Any money owed takes 3-5 working days to go into your bank from when payment was sent. With the Christmas payment date changes if it was paid in time then you may receive it tomorrow. If it wasn't then it will be after Christmas.

You can also ring PIP to ask then what you've been awarded and when to expect any money that's owed and they will tell you.

Hello @twiggy66

That was a quick process, which is always good to hear! How are you feeling about it all now? 

Hopefully the letters comes soon!

Hi Hannah.
I'm feeling happy that its all over and done with. I just spoke to someone and they said I will receive a lump sum in my bank in the next day or so and they took me how much I will be receiving every 4 months starting from January, and my reward will last until 3 years.

It was 1 hour on the phone. The lady was really nice and patient and allowed me to take my time which really helped me to feel calm

PIP is paid every 4 weeks and not every 4 months.
