mod4it64

Ive recently been due to go to tribunal for a pip award but was contacted by phone and asked a few questions then said they would ring back in hhslf hour. They rung back znd told me i did not need to go to tribunal as now ive been awarded the enhanced payment for both parts of pip.
This was on the 5th may now wondering when i will recieve my back payment and award letter as they did not say its already been 7 minth since my original claim

Hi there 

It can take a while  jt as it was a dwp award it should be quicker 

You will prob find your payment goes in before you get a letter as they are released at same time and bank us quicker 

They will need to calculate your backpay and get it authorised

Hi @mod4it64 congrats on winning your award, they will send you a letter out, as its only been since 5th May you won the award, these things can a bit of time to sort out, I apriciate its been 7 months in the running all together but hopefully you receive something soon. Also welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the community @mod4it64 Good to have yo with us!

I know a couple of our members have already been in touch in response to your first post. Hopefully, that's helped to answer your query?

Glad to hear that it was good news about your PIP award. In fact, given the content of your first post, I've just tweaked the title slightly and popped this thread into our PIP, DLA and AA category, so that other members can share in your good news!

Please do stick around as well. Whilst you're here you might want to get involved in some of the chats in our Coffee lounge, or have a look at some of our other recent discussions on the community. It would be great to get to know you a bit better.

All the best, and you have a good day.

Congratulations @mod4it64

I got a phone call on Thursday afternoon too offering me Enhanced DL and Standard Mobility (from 0 points). I'm still waiting for the DWP to close my appeal and a letter about my backpay and future payments. Fingers crossed things won't be too long for us but I'll be ringing Friday to see if there's an update.

They’ve just emailed and text me saying my appeal is now closed. I’m not sure how much longer it’ll take now, feel a fool after writing that before ?

You must have had a premonition @bg844

Well done @bg844, that’s great news ?

Thank you all. I shouldn’t of even had to accept an offer to be honest, I was on a lifetime DLA award with no issues, no assessment either. I never phoned them and they wrote to me if they needed anything (which only happened once). I think if you get a long-term/life award you must be disabled. I feel a big injustice for all disabled people especially those who move over to stupid systems like PIP. I’m sorry for the rant but the DWP honestly anger me so much. Before all this saga I’d give them high praise but now I say to anyone ‘get what you can before they take it away’. This is making me very ill if I’m completely honest.

@bg844 I'm glad you've had some positive news too but sorry to hear the process has made you feel ill    Are you receiving support from your GP with this?
