in PIP, DLA, and AA
I have read by posts it can take 4 to 6 weeks to get your payments from the date you claimed backdated. 
But what date is made for when normal payments  actually start I presume it is the the same date for everybody thanx

    When awarded PIP you receive the money owed first. After that you usually receive the decision letter. Your first 4 weekly payment is usually about 4 weeks after your money owed was paid. 

    No, not everyone receives the payment on the same date. PIP is paid 4 weekly on week days only. Everyone has different payment days. Your decision letter will tell you the day of the week to expect your money.

    OK thank u poppy, so if I wait 4 weeks say for backdated payments first, when my payments do start there are going to be arrears on that as well  so every week that passes before I get backdated payments are arrears so to speak, thank u I just presumed every body had same date just to make it less complicated, the lady on phone said she was informing tribuneral to cancel and said she was back saying payments and sending a letter

    Money owed will be in your bank 3-5 working days after payment is sent. How long it will take to put your award into payment, I have no idea. How much money is owed to you will depend on when the cut off date is and when you applied. The decision letter will tell you when it's paid from an to.
