PIP tribunal successful - how long does it take to receive backdated money?

skyethomson96

I had my appeal on may 29th and was told on Monday my payment would be in by Wednesday or Friday latest but I spoke to a man today and he said September? Can anyone shed some light in this?

Hi @skyethomson96, it may be worth you giving them a call for clarification. It's my understanding it can take 6-8 weeks for them to put a tribunal decision in to payment but I'm not sure why you've been told September.

I had my tribunal on 13th of sept was told I had been awarded the standard rate of the care component backdated to November 2018. Also told they were faxing the decision so the DWP got it immediately. Just got off phone to DWP 4 days later.  I was told it had only come onto their system at 5am today that there was a tribunal date for me on the 13th. I got my notification 4 weeks before my appearance date! Got told it might take another 6 weeks once they log the decision on to their system.

Hi,

Great news! backdated money can take 8 weeks after a Tribunal win and about the same time to put your award into payment. Sometimes it's less than this but there's really no timescales. Hopefully not too long.

Hi,

Great news. It can take 8 weeks to receive backdated money, which will be backdated to the start of your claim. IF it's Enhanced mobility and you're asking about the motability vehicle then you'll have to wait until you get the letter from DWP before you can order a car.

Hi.
This is my first post,so hi everyone.
I had my pip tribunal 5th June 2017.
A 1 hour 15 minutes of grilling about my condition.
I have since 2011 sciatica,endiometris causing acute pain.I have a cocktail of medication including Matrifen patches.In November 2016 pip reduced my claim from enhanced rate to standard after an ATOS interview.I asked for reconsideration and lost.
I new this was wrong but as I suffer from anxiety and depression I was worried about doing the next step a tribunal.
To cut it short I new that's what pip want people  to get to this stage and give up.
I was so scared but persevered and WON my case.My money is to be back dated 6 months, does anyone know how long it takes to get money I am owed?.If you have the same problem in pip reducing your claim please .FIGHT IT.!!!

Hi, Me myself won my appeal two weeks ago and I’ve not even heard anything from DWP how long was it when you received your benefits if you don’t mind me asking I’ve got backdated 14 to 15 months

Hi and welcome,

Great news. It can take between 2-8 weeks, sometimes longer to receive backdated money. To be honest, there's really no timescales.

Hi, I won my appeal on the 15th of January, and received all of my back payment on the 6th of February which was quite a lot as it was from 2018, so for me it was 3 weeks. 

It can be upto 8 weeks some people of said!! But the average seems to be 2-4 weeks of receiving payment

They can't just appeal the decision. First they have to request the statement of reasons and record of proceedings and they have 1 month from the date of the decision to do this. Once they receive those they have to find the error in law before they can appeal. If they do request these it doesn't mean they will appeal. They sometimes request them but rarely appeal. If they request them they will write to you. It will delay you receiving the backdated money if they are requested.

Hi and welcome,

Have you rang DWP? if you haven't then you'll need to do this and ask what's happening. It's possible they have requested the statement of reasons and record of proceedings. If they have then this will delay you receiving your backdated money and all you can do is wait.

I won my tribunal mid April.  Received a letter at the end of April to say I'd receive the backpay on 1st of May and first PIP payment end of May (it's paid 4 weekly) so you should receive a similar letter soon.  Likely to be different timescales across the country but it can be as little as 2 weeks from my experience.
