The letter usually arrives within a couple of weeks.

Backpay generally arrives before the letter.

After that you will receive your first PIP payment 4 weeks later.

Now onto the challenge of appealing the higher rate

Missed out by points on daily living

I scored 8

But top points for everything else .

Citizens advice has told me it does not make sense .
just waiting for the official letter now then start the appeal for higher rate . Have more than enough evidence. But been told if I d o appeal I could loose points .
so drawing so confusing and pretty scared in case u do loose points !!!

plus my award was for 3 years .

Any thoughts or comments should I appeal ???
