Hi all I got a call last Monday to say I’ve been awarded pip and that I’ll be getting a back payment, received a text the day after on Tuesday. No payment as of yet does anybody know if it will go in this week? It’s been 4 days (working days) and I’m panicking thinking it’s not going to go in. I know there’s probably a delay with it falling over the Christmas period.

    @ashleighannemaguire hi and welcome to scope, I would think its the holidays that are delaying the payment and hopefully it will be with you sometime this week, keep checking your bank account.

    It doesn't mean anything other than what it says, it's a standard text sent for reviews. Although it advises you not to ring, you can ring PIP at anytime to ask what the decision is and they will tell you. Or you can wait for the decision letter in the next couple of weeks.
    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.
