PIP backpay

Hi everyone
A couple of weeks ago i won my PIP tribunal thankfully, i was searching online for how long it takes to get the backpay when i came across this great site!
So looking through information here it seems im to wait another 30 days before i will see anything? It took a year and a half to get my tribunal so more waiting is torture, does phoning them and chasing them up make a difference or are they going to wait 30 days no matter what i do?
Thanks in advance everyone and keep fighting!

Congratulations on winning your tribunal! Unfortunately it does not matter if you ring then, the 30 days seems to be fairly standard! Please do get involved in the community in any way you would like and please let me know if there is anything that I can do

Congratulations on the successful tribunal! Wonderful news and it's great that you're willing to share some advice and support with other members of our community, too.
I found the following information on the Citizens Advice website about what happens after a successful appeal:
Sorry to hear that you still haven't heard back from the DWP about your claim. You could contact the Government's Disability Service Centre about an ongoing benefits claim. The following information is for ongoing PIP claims:
Telephone: 0800 121 4433
Textphone: 0800 121 4493
Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm
Find out about call charges
Even when you win they still string you along
I was expecting a fight but once past all the appeals and waiting, it was nice to speak to a friendly person and not be treated like some convict.
Brilliant news! glad you have finally got the outcome you deserve!
