Hi there
Are you referring to your claim for pip or some other benefit ?
If its pip If a first time claim it is back dated to when you first rang to apply
If a review or change of circumstances that would be different
Other benefits are different so without knowing what benefit you are referring to we can't really answer -
Hiya yes it's pip
-
Once payment is made it takes 3-5 working days to go into your bank.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Hiya everyone so after 16 weeks I got a call today to say I've got pip couldn't believe it I cried when he rang... He said I should receive my payment in 7 to 10 days... Has anyone else ever had a back payment? When do they do it from? I think I first applied in Feb when I found out about my illness but I got refused and now been accepted

Congratulations @Carebear41, you must be delighted with that. It should be backdated to when you first phoned up to make your claim, hopefully the money will be with you soon!

Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
3-5 working days as advised in your other thread. If you’ve been told 28th then that’s when it will be.
