    That's great news! Money owed will be in your bank 3-5 working days after payment was sent.

    If you ring them you can ask when to expect the money into your bank and they will tell you. They can also tell you what your award is.

    @poppy123456 I've just called them I'm so happy! Should get backdated payment in few days and they said my normal payment will be 18th October does this mean it will fall on 18th or each month now ? X

    As mentioned you will get backpack and because of this is the reason for any delay in receiving payments. Based on your award, payment amounts differ so calculating what's owed takes DWP emplyees a while, [Edited by moderator: possibly uncivil comment]

    Even though you may have been struggling money wise I would hold off contacting the DWP, one as the person on the phone will have no exact date of payment and two as I think if you do contact them it is my experience that they will go out of thier way to take longer.

    As I advised in my first comment above, they will actually tell you what date to expect payment into your bank because they can see it on the system.
