Hi, 
How soon do you usually get pip backdated before the decision letter comes through ?
I’ve been told to wait 4 weeks from my assessment.
it’s the 3rd week tomorrow

    Hi and welcome to the community 

    The decision usually takes 8 to 10 weeks after assessment there are no fixed timescales but that is the average at present 

    Once decision is made it takes couple of weeks then for payment to be made

    Is payment not made before decision letter arrives ?

    In most cases yes the reason is the letter and payment are released and sent at the same time so the payment clears quicker than the letter arriving

    Hello @private_Scoper

    Welcome to the community, good to see you join us. 

    As mentioned above you're looking at around a couple of months for the decision after the assessment, though that isn't the case in all situations. Hopefully yours will be sooner and you get a positive outcome.
