in Benefits and income

Hi, I received a text on 02/12/25 saying I've been approved for Pip. I wondered how long I have to wait for backpay to come into my account? I am writing this at midnight on 05/12/2025. If its the 3-5 days, will it;

1. Come through the time the text was sent?

2. Come through on a weekend?

    @cooperc backdated pay can and does arrive prior to you getting your decision letter. That is all I can say.

    Hi @cooperc - & it's good to welcome you to this community. Great that you have been awarded PIP. I think it's generally considered that the 3-5 days are 'working days,' so likely not a weekend. All I can suggest is to to keep on checking your bank account.
