Is it possible to receive payment for pip whilst waiting for thee assessment report ? 

Also after receiving text from dwp that they now have report how long did everyone wait for payment or decision please

You will only receive a payment if you’re successfully awarded. Payment is usually paid into your bank before the decision letter is received.
After that letter it’s anything between 2-12 weeks. Quite a pointless letter in my opinion.

No what I mean is has anyone received a payment before the assessment report was sent out ? Obviously if awarded

Yup, I did….

How long after you asked for report poppy

The quickest time I’ve waited for a decision is 3 days after my assessment. Letter was received the following week. Report was received a few days later.

Wow that’s very quick poppy isn’t it
I requested assessor report on Friday morning so just awaiting that to arrive to give me a recommendation if I am awarded 
does backdated money get paid at once ?

This was 4 years ago so things were very different back then. Backlogs are huge at the moment.

BACS payments take 3-5 working days to clear in a bank.
