Hey guys, 
I’ve just today received a text after a 6 month battle saying that I’m being awarded pip. Does anyone know how long after that initial text I should expect to see the money hit my account?
Thank uou in advance!

    Firstly congrats on getting your pip award. 

    It is meant to be between 3-5 working days. If you received your text at 8am then you were awarded the day before. 

    I recieved my text on Friday and the backdated element will be paid in this coming Thursday. 

    The regular payment is then due on the last day of every month going forward for me. 

    If you give them a call they will be able to tell you exactly how much you will get and the dates

    Just on a side the precorded machine system is a lot nicer and gentler when phoning pip, or is that just me

    That's not how PIP is paid. PIP is every 4 weeks so the date it's paid will change but the day will always be the same.
