Hi, my name is riah22xox! how quickly do you get the back pay or the decision with PIP?

Hello, my partner started his pip claim on 2nd August, got his forms and sent them off. He had his video assessment nearly 2 weeks ago, he also rang dwp to request the assessment review which should arrive in a week or so. But he was just wondering how quickly do you get the back pay or the decision? As we know this year they have been getting through people a lot quicker. Thankyou in advance

Once the report was returned to DWP a decision can take up to 12 weeks. If successfully awarded money is usually in the bank 3-5 working days after payment was sent, which is usually once the decision is made.

Please be aware that when you receive the report, it's not the decision. It's a recommendation only. Whilst they mostly go with it, they have been known to go against it but it's rare.
