Hello so I applied for pip October 2021 and got declined so did a mandatory reconsideration Ann got declined again so I appealed again anyways went to tribunal and I was in there they said go wait outside for 5 mins while we talk came in and they said you have been awarded high daily living and normal mobility said I would get back pay I’ve worked out how much anyways it’s been 4 weeks tomorrow I went there I recived a message this morning at 8:54 on Sunday 18th from Dwp it’s same number I’ve had messages about cost of living from and pip saying 

We tried to call you about your successful Personal Independence Payment appeal but were unable to speak to you. We will call you again on 18/06/2023 between 09.00 AM and 03.30 PM.The number may show as unknown or begin with 0800.

It can take up to about 8 weeks to receive the money they owe you and the same time to put your award into payment.

The reason they want to speak to you is because they want to ask if you've either been in prison or hospital since your claim started. These are the standard questions they ask after a Tribunal win and before they pay what is owed. Once you've spoke to them it shouldn't be too long before it's put into payment.

Hi @chantelle19 and a warm welcome to our online community, it's great you found us! 

Well done on persevering and getting a successful outcome at tribunal. That's no mean feat and is great to hear 

I can see Poppy has answered your question, and in the meantime I've moved your thread to our PIP, DLA and AA category and amended the title to help others spot it more easily.

Have a great rest of the weekend.

Okay that’s lovely thank you it’s taken me 18 months to be awarded with reconcidorations and a tribunal but I’m glad I’ve finally been accepted she said it will take 3-5 days and should be with me by Friday she called Sunday.
 So let’s say I get my back pay Friday the 23rd of June will my monthly payments start June or July ? X

Payments are 4 weekly, not monthly. Your first 4 weekly payment will be July.
