How long after tribunal wind and dwp asking the relevant questions and confirming your bank details did you wait before receiving back pay / payment ? I rang today and they said I will receive a payment before a letter but I’m a bit confused ....   Thanks !

    Hello @gadele

    Welcome to the community, how are you today? 

    Congratulations on the tribunal win. I don't think there's a specific amount of time that you should expect to wait, but hopefully it won't be too long. 

    Often we hear of people receiving a payment in their bank account, and then the letter arrives not long after. So if you suddenly see something being paid into your bank account I wouldn't worry, and just bide your time for the confirmation letter which I'm sure will be along.

    thank you!  I’m looking to have adaptations made so would be really handy to know a semi sort of useful timescale to get things put in motion ...

    I would imagine if the DWP have contacted you to confirm banking details that they are at least in the process of releasing your payment, however I don't think anyone can give you a timescale. Do keep checking the bank account because the money will more than likely appear there before the letter arrives on the door mat.

    This thread was posted in June 2021 and the member hasn't been active since July 2021. If you want to know if payment has been made then you will need to ring PIP to ask.

    Hi @aldot have you managed to contact PIP about your back pay? Hopefully you can find out soon :)
