Hello, just wondering Why I have received my pip back dated payment today, but not received the letter? Also how long after the backpay am I to wait for the letter. 
Tia.

    Usually money owed is paid before the decision letter is received. This is because it’s not unusual for the post to take more than 3-5 days to arrive. 
    You should allow up to a couple of weeks to receive the decision letter.

    I had the letter show up a week after the backdated cash, so it's not unusual especially since DWP letters take ages to be received.
