PIP payment before decision letter. Do both components get paid together with back dated payments?

Hi, I’m hoping someone can advise me please. My husband applied for PIP at the end of March, he had his assessment a couple of weeks ago and today he received a payment in the bank but no letter yet from DWP, I do understand that the letter will (hopefully) follow soon but we are really puzzled by the amount. Do both components of PIP get paid together with back dated payments or is there a possibility that the payment is for just one component and the other will be paid in a day or so?

Both components will be paid together. The regular payment and any arrears due will be paid separately. For an arrears payment the amount may not be for a whole number of weeks which makes it hard to infer the award from the amount.

Hi,
PIP is one payment made every 4 weeks. The backdated money will all be paid together as one payment. When you receive the decision letter it will tell you when to expect the first 4 weekly payment.If you’re not happy with the decision and think a higher award is possible you can request the Mandatory Reconsideration.1 -
Thank you for the replies. Is the back dated payment dated from when you first called up to request PIP or when they received the completed application form?0

Do you know what’s been awarded exactly? It is difficult to work out the exact amount because it will depend what the exact cut off date is for the money that’s owed.

thank you Calcotti and Poppy, I guess we just have to be a bit more patient and wait for the letter. Thank you for your speedy replies though0

based on the amount you mentioned I've calculated that you have standard daily living only from 30th march thats £60 a week for 28 weeks £1,680 so seems most likely0

Why do you think he should have been awarded the mobility part? Just so that you're aware, the first stage to appeal is the Mandatory Reconsideration. (MR) Some expert advice will be helpful at this stage to see if a mobility award is possible because it it isn't there's no point going any further. Start here. https://advicelocal.uk/

I’ve just had a large payment paid into my account..I did a change of circumstance review but never received as much as a phone call. Seems it’s been done as a paper review..will wait and see what the letter says when it eventually arrives0
