How long after the PIP tribunal should I receive a decision letter?

castelle23

Hello, I recently went to tribunal for a pip decision, I was not told the tribunal decision there and then apparently I have to wait for a letter if the post, I was wondering how long people waited for there letter once one had been sent, also if successful how long would I be waiting for back dated money owed ?

Usually within a week you'll receive the decision letter. If successfully award it can take anything up to about 8 weeks to receive any money owed and about the same time to put an award into payment.

Thank you for the information, I already have an award high rate mobility but am challenging the care element pretty ridiculous to be honest with my condition.
