    No. The first PIP payment is usually paid about 7 weeks after the decision to award it.

    If you didn't return the forms until January 2023 then that's an extremely quick decision. You will recieve a final DLA payment and then the PIP starts after that.

    Hi @SHIRLEYELIZABETH and a warm welcome to our community, how are you and your son today?

    That's good news to receive and I hope the money helps make life a little easier for your son. I hope our members responses have helped you better understand when to expect the first PIP payment.

    Just to let you know, I've amended the title of your thread to reflect your question (don't want to cause you any confusion!).

    Best wishes and take care.
