Hi all I applied for a review back in April 2023 and had my assessment on may 2023 had a letter on 1st June 2023 saying they now have all the information they need I called two weeks ago and spoke to a case manager and he told me he will try and hurry the decision due to the amount of time I’ve waited my review then got sent to a different case manager on the 19th June and today at 8.19am I received a text saying my pip review is now complete if I was to be backdated do they backdate you straight away because I have no money due in my bank and I’m with Monzo or dos it take a view days I was on standard daily living No motability but if i was to be on enhanced daily living I would be backdated right I’m just wondering how long it take for the backdate

If you're awarded a higher award and you reported changes to your health condition then it will apply from the date you rang to report the changes, assuming you had the changes for at least 3 months.

If the award stays the same you won't be owed anything. If refused your PIP will stop.

If there's any money owed it can take 3-5 working days to go into your bank.

@poppy123456 ah okay thank you I’m going to ring the automated line at 9am to see if it will tell me an amount but it might not be changed yet due to having to wait for the systems to refresh and stuff

The automated payment line has been known to give incorrect information. You can ring the helpline to ask what the award is and hopefully they will be able to tell you.

@poppy123456 yeah I went through to speak to them she told me everything is staying the same but my award has been extended another year they did say they owe me money but it will be paid on the 11th July but that’s when I get paid my pip so I’m abit confused to if I’m being paid double or if that’s just my actual pay

I have no idea how they worked that one out. You can't be owed anything if your award has stayed the same. Your payments will just continue as normal.

Whether it's possible to score more points for a higher award will depend on how your conditions affect you. A worsening of condition doesn't automatically entitle you to more points for a higher award.

@poppy123456 yeah that’s what I don’t understand I’m calling them again but probably have to wait 40 minutes now lol just to ease my anxiety

When ringing PIP you're speaking to someone from a call centre who often give some terrible advice. As you're award has stayed the same there's nothing to owe you because you've been receiving 4 weekly payments while waiting for the decision. I don't think there's any need to ring them again.
