    Yesterday I had a txt saying...We have not yet made a decision on your PIP claim. We will write to you when we have made a decision. You only need to contact us if your circumstances change.

    Then today to my surprise I had a txt ......We have awarded you PIP. We have sent you a decision letter explaining the award. Please allow 2 weeks to receive this. You only need to contact us if your circumstances change.

    Congratulations, I hope you are happy with what they have awarded you ๐Ÿ˜Š

    My first time claim in the summer was successful, and the money has made my life so much easier.

    Backpay should arrive into your bank account before the letter.

    I actually received my letter for my pip award before I had any back pay, it was good news and will help to make my life less stressful and so much easier xx Thank you for all the help gave in times of not knowing what was happening

    I am still waiting for my backpay, I had a txt a week ago saying I was awarded pip and to wait up to 2 weeks for the letter, I received the letter 6 days later and it stated i would get my backpay on the 19th just gone, does this mean I have to wait 3 to 5 days to see it in my bank

    Congratulations on your award.

    If they said the back pay would be in your account on the 19th, it should have been there on that date.

    I have just checked and its not there, I will ring them on Monday, thank you for clearing it up because I thought wrongly 3 to 5 days from the date they stated.

    Yes its best to ring them because you should have received the payment.

    It goes straight into your bank and it doesn't need to clear.
