    They don't send a text when payment has been sent. They may send a text (not always) to say you've been awarded PIP when your award has been put into payment. 

    After a Tribunal win it can take anything up to 8 weeks to receive money owed and to put your award into payment. 

    Usually money is in the bank before you receive the letter. Before they pay you they will contact you to ask if you've been in hospital or prison.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
