PIP backpay update

htudor1

Hi guys just an update with regards to my pip award and back pay. So Thursday I was told my award was £594p/m and also yesterday a grand total of just over £11k had been paid into my account. So it's been a long hard fight for 2 years but now reaping the rewards of NOT GIVING UP

Wow @htudor1 that's amazing news, congratulations! I bet that's a huge relief? 

Now make sure you buy yourself a little treat, you've earned it.

Congratulations, I bet this is a huge relief for you. Can I ask how many weeks it took you from being awarded at tribunal to receiving the backpay? I know it takes on average 4-8 weeks, but would be good to hear your experience of the timescale as I was also awarded in April? Thanks

Hi @beth4dean, was just wondering if you had been contacted or received your backpay yet? I won mine a few days after you, but have had no contact yet.

I found out Friday that my award was put into payment and am due 11K backpay but still awaiting letter and payment

That's great news, hopefully you won't be waiting much longer then. Did they contact you on Friday to make you aware or did you give them a call?

I called and the automated line said I due payment so I spoke to advisor who confirmed
