    Hello @robynsstokes3

    Wishing you a warm welcome to the community, it's nice to see you join us and I look forward to seeing you getting involved around the community.

    Just to let you know, I have moved your discussion over to our PIP category and altered the title a bit so that others know what your question is. 

    When you say approved, do you mean they said you have been awarded PIP? If so, I imagine the award letter won't be far off, and that will confirm the award for you. If you have been awarded, I'm sure it won't be too long until you receive your first payment either.

    Hi,

    If you've been successfully awarded and you didn't transfer from DLA then once money is sent it takes 3-5 working days to go into your bank. Usually you receive the money before the award letter.
    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.
